restaurateurs and consumers. The Market was built in 1917 and was the focal spot of activity for its surrounding neighborhood, featuring boxing matches and food festivals. The arrival of sea- sonal produce was celebrated by parades with  oats decorated with fruits and vegetables.
The  oat pictured above depicts the layout of the Wholesale Terminal as it was in the 1930s, surrounded by an attractive display of the fruits and vegetables sold at the Market.
Today, the 7th Street Produce Market is part of the Row DTLA Collective, one of the trendiest parts of Downtown Los Angeles. The 32-acre site features more than 100 stores, restaurants and of ce spaces. The Produce Market sits on  ve acres, operates six days a week, and remains a key access point for produce distribu- tion throughout the region. It boasts more than 75 vendors. The Collective also features a Sunday market called Smorgasburg that is open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Row DTLA also introduced a seasonal farmers market in July called POP Produce that mixed produce vendors with food trucks and DJs.
