The Volcano Village farmers market is the “social event of the week” in Volcano. Many locals come out to swap news, listen to the “coconut wireless” (local gossip), and meet friends. If you are spending the weekend in Volcano Village you can start your Sunday early with a visit to this market to pick up some souvenirs for home and a lunch for later that day in the Volcanoes National park.
