New weekend market anchors arts and small business activity at Miramar Cultural Center
The City of Miramar will stage its first farmers market at the Miramar Cultural Center Artscape on Saturday, Sept. 12, showcasing small businesses, artisans and live performers in a lakeside setting behind the center.
"The market will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 12."
The Artscape, a walking path that circles the center’s lake and displays original sculptural works, will be the site for vendors selling farm-to-table foods, handmade goods and a range of health and beauty products. Visitors should expect street food and a mix of artisan merchandise including jewelry, woodwork, metal art and knitted goods.
Music and performances planned throughout the day
Organizers have scheduled a lineup of local and regional performers to provide live entertainment. The program opens with Lim, identified in the event materials as a local R&B artist. A flamenco dance set by Alessandra adds a dance element to the schedule, while Sekond Nature Band, noted for performing at local weddings and events, will take the stage later in the day. DJ Rob Flow, known in South Florida for vinyl sets, is slated to perform, and Peruvian singer Diego Val will sing selections from his catalog, which includes singles such as "Más de Ti" and "Hey Mama: Sexo Eterno."
This blend of artists aims to give the market a community-oriented festival atmosphere, pairing small-business commerce with live cultural programming.

Local context and potential impact
By situating the market in the Cultural Center’s Artscape, city leaders are linking the event to Miramar’s public art and recreational assets. The combination of farm-to-table vendors and artisans creates an opportunity for local entrepreneurs to reach residents and visitors who come for the arts and for weekend leisure. For artists and small-business proprietors, such markets serve as a direct sales channel and a way to test new products and build a local customer base.
For residents, the market adds a daytime option for family outings, shopping and live entertainment in a park-like setting. The timing—midday on a Saturday—may draw shoppers who prefer an outdoor, community-centered experience over traditional retail environments.
City promotional materials highlight the Artscape’s sculptural works as part of the visitor experience, suggesting the market is intended as both a commercial and cultural activation of the public space.
Additional details on vendors and any public-health or accessibility accommodations were not included in the announcement. Residents seeking more information may consult the Miramar Cultural Center’s event listings or city communications for updates prior to the market date.
The Miramar Cultural Center farmers market marks the city’s effort to support local creatives and small businesses while activating public art spaces for community events.
