# A Saturday morning in the village

Get to the farmers market early, then go on to coffee, a bookshop or two, and the canal. The market runs every Saturday through November 21.

## Start at the market

The village-run Fairport Farmers Market sets up in the Village Landing parking lot, off South Main Street by the canal, every Saturday from 8 am to noon. This fall that means October 10, 17, 24 and 31, and the season ends on Saturday, November 21.

Leave the dog at home: the village asks that pets stay home on market days. The [market page](https://www.village.fairport.ny.us/community/farmers_market/index.php) has the latest.

## Coffee

- **Junction361**, 24 North Main Street: Saturdays 7 am to 4 pm, with gluten-free baked goods and flatbreads.
- **Clementine Coffee**, Box Factory building, 6 North Main Street: Saturdays 8 am to 3 pm; the kitchen closes at 2:30.
- **FairPour Coffee Roasters**, The Cannery, 25 Parce Avenue: 8 am to 4 pm daily.
- **Alter Ego Eatery**, 146 North Main Street: a gluten-free bakery and cafe, Saturdays 9 am to 3 pm.

## Books and a bit of history

The **Fairport Public Library**, 1 Fairport Village Landing, is open Saturdays 9 am to 5 pm. In the same Landing, the volunteer-run **Fairport Corner Bookstore** sells used and collectible books for the Friends of the Fairport Library (Saturdays 10 am to 4 pm).

**Another Chapter Bookstore**, 7 West Church Street, has new books for adults and children, and **Lucky Penny Books & Gifts** in Packett's Landing pairs books with handmade gifts. Both are open Saturdays 10 am to 4 pm.

The **Fairport Museum**, run by the Perinton Historical Society at 18 Perrin Street, opens Saturdays 9 am to 1 pm, March through mid-December.

## End at the canal

The **Main Street lift bridge**, assembled in 1914 and rebuilt from 2019 to 2021, is the village's landmark. **Kennelley Park** and its gazebo, on the water, are open to everyone. **Moonlight Creamery**, on West Avenue by the canal with a view of the bridge, opens at 11 am on Saturdays.

If you want to see boats, come before Wednesday, October 14: the canal closes to navigation at 6 pm that day.

## Parking

The village has six free lots with more than 900 spaces, mostly a 4 to 12 minute walk from the shops.
