Summer Street Stroll
The Great Bend Farmer's Market is every Thursday during growing season at Jack Kilby Square (on the SE lawn of the Barton County Courthouse). The Farmer's Market makes healthier, locally-grown food easier to access for everyone. Special events like City Band Concerts, Movies in the Park and more are held at the historic bandshell along with the market on Thursday evenings.
