Strike a pose at the 360° photo booth, learn about the Market's history, share your memories, engage with the community, score some one-of-a-kind freebies, and sing your heart out in an all-out 80s karaoke party.

80s Karaoke Party: 6–8 PM hosted by 93.3 KZOZ; sponsored by Kramer Events and SLO Sweets

The Downtown SLO Farmers’ Market started in 1983, so we’re going back in time! Showcase your vocals at the 80s karaoke party!

Registration starts at 6 PM and is free — 80s costumes are encouraged!
