The Manhattan Beach Farmers Market celebrated its 8th anniversary on Tuesday with fruits, vegetables, train rides, live music, and a visit from a hockey-playing lion.
"It really was a nice family celebration," said market manager Cynthia Rogers.
The market opened with the official launch of "Breathe Free MB" - a campaign by the City of Manhattan Beach and the Beach Cities Blue Zones Project to inform residents of the new city-wide smoke-free policy. According to a new city ordinance, smoking will be prohibited in public places, starting next month.

Pages, a Bookstore later sponsored a cooking demo with Chef Theresa Wahl. The day's celebrations also included live music by acoustic singer Yolanda, and the ever-popular Trackless Train Ride for kids.
