The Thursday night Napa Chefs' Market celebrates its 19th anniversary by returning May 16 and will run through August 1, from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. on First Street in Downtown Napa. The Napa Chefs' Market features two cooking demonstrations each night, at 6:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., featuring world-renowned chefs, who are also Napa locals. After the demonstration, audience members may enjoy a sample of the food paired with a taste of wine from Downtown Napa tasting rooms. Both are free of charge.

The event is free, family-oriented and open to the public. The event also includes local produce in the Farmers' Market. The market also includes live entertainment and local vendors featuring the best wines, fresh produce and shopping in Downtown Napa. Chefs' Market has been voted Best Family Outing by local radio station listeners for years.  Stroll the streets while enjoying a glass of Napa Valley wine, a cold beer or other non-alcoholic beverage. Please leave all pets at home.
