An enjoyable activity to take part in when visiting Campbell is the farmers market, which takes place on Sundays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The market allows visitors to interact with local farmers and learn about their lifestyles as well as some of the products they produce. It is an excellent place to teach children the importance of agriculture and sample some local products, while also supporting local produce farmers. The market takes place on Campbell Avenue, which is closed off to cars during the event. Live music and various performances are also part of the market.
