The Downtown Farmers Curb Market will reopen fully in an expanded footprint this Saturday, May 30 from 8am-1pm. Instead of ending at the railroad tracks, the Market will extend south all the way to Lemon St. for two additional blocks (with plenty of room for social distancing between vendors).
Safety Guidelines:
• We encourage customers to wear a mask while in the footprint of the Market. We will have masks for sale. Vendors are required to wear masks when interacting with customers.
• We ask that you all bring your own hand sanitizer and use before and after touching anything at the market. We will have some on site as well, but to be sure to have adequate supply, please provide your own.
