  Saturday mornings from mid-April to early November, producers only, and everyone walks the Capitol Square anticlockwise because that is the rule. It moves indoors for the winter and is not the same thing. Bron ↗

  Art Fair on the Square

  Peak lands in the middle two weeks of October, and the isthmus does it well because you get the colour reflected off two lakes at once. The Arboretum and the Picnic Point walk are where everyone goes.
