Outdoor City Market Goes on Rain or Shine, Starting May 3

Today is the first day for the outdoor City Market, 4-7 p.m. at the Train Depot, 301 W. Whitewater St., and in response to a question about the impact of the rainy weather, Co-Manager Lisa Dawsey Smith stated, “Yes. It’s a rain or shine market. Unless there’s a thunderstorm the market happens. If it’s continually drizzling it will be scaled back some out of necessity (less furniture to potentially damage still fragile spring turf, musicians not out in the wet cold). Same procedures as always.” In the future, for timely updates, check the Whitewater City Market page on Facebook.

The following update for the season was posted on the Banner last week:
The Outdoor Season beginning this Tuesday runs weekly from May 3 through October 25th 4 to 7 p.m. at the Historic Train Depot. Highlights for the upcoming season include a place to get outside and linger with friends old and new, children’s activities, food trucks/prepared food vendors, live music and an average of 30 vendors weekly. We have a number of new additions to the market including two new area farmers: Terra Mana Gardens and Little Red Farms. 

Farmers Market Opens this Saturday

Karl Knuteson, who coordinates the Farmers Market, indicates that market will be open beginning this Saturday, May 7, from 8 a.m. to noon. That market is held in the municipal parking lot next to the Train Depot, 301 W. Whitewater St.
