MARQUETTE — The first market of the Downtown Marquette Wednesday Evening Farmers Market’s 24th season will be from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday on the 100 block of West Washington Street.

The Wednesday Evening Farmers Market is shutting down the 100 block of West Washington Street to bring a new festive experience to the market and to the downtown every Wednesday this summer season.

The Information Booth will be located at the entrance at the intersection of Washington and Third streets.

The new Downtown Marquette Social District will be active during this time and extended into the street to offer Farmers Market attendees the opportunity to shop amongst the vendors with a alcoholic beverage purchased from a participating downtown restaurant or bar.

Shoppers can now plan for their market visit by using new resources available on the market’s website. The interactive Market Map allows shoppers to search for vendors and products, learn more about each vendor, and map their shopping experience accordingly. Additionally, the Meet Our Vendors page provides shoppers with detailed information about each vendor including specific offerings, accepted payment types, and which dates they will be at the market. Links to these resources can be found on the market’s homepage at www.mqtfarmersmarket.com.
