Shoppers at the community market

If you’re looking for a Saturday morning activity in Denton this summer, stop by the Denton Community Market. Shop local artisans, farmers and food trucks – all while enjoying live music!
For those with SNAP benefits, you may use your card for qualified purchases on fresh produce, agriculture products and staple foods.
Get a glimpse of the market through this UNT Dentoning video!
