The Farmers Market will be held every Tuesday afternoon in the City Hall parking lot through October 9. Come check out our brand-new vendors and a wide selection of locally-grown produce, beautiful art, household items, garden accessories and delicious baked goods!

Come explore the beauty of nature at Terra Park and Beaver Creek Natural Resource Area, and get to know your neighbors at the same time. Participants will meet at Terra Park Shelter, 6400 Pioneer Parkway at 11:00 a.m. and head out on a walk on the trails enjoying the plants, trees, birds and insects that call Johnston home. Walk as little or as much as you would like. There will be a prize for best nature photo taken during the walk, so bring those smart phones. Please wear appropriate walking shoes, bug spray and bring a re-fillable water bottle. Binoculars and a smartphone will enhance the experience as well.

Join Johnston Parks & Recreation for "Lures and Lunch" at Terra Park. Participants can bring their lunch to the fishing pier and the City of Johnston Parks & Recreation Department will have bait and fishing poles for you to "cast" away your workday for an hour of carefree catch and release fishing. This will take place on Thursdays from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. If you are age 16 and older, you must have an Iowa Fishing License.
