The first Whitewater City Market of the 2019 outdoor market season will be held on May 7, 2019, 4-7 pm at the Historic Train Depot on Whitewater Street.
Since 2015, the Whitewater City Market has featured local vendors selling produce, baked goods, handcrafted gifts, hot food and more. Now running year-round, the market season is held indoors on Saturday mornings at the Irvin L. Young Memorial Library November through April and then moves outdoors Tuesday afternoons May through October.
More than 50 vendors and organizations will participate in the market this year. Every week will feature live music from a local musician and a variety of food trucks. This season will see the return of many of last year’s vendors with some exciting new additions.
“We are happy to welcome back market favorites like Komboocho Brewing, Flying Cow Pizza, Pop’s Kettle Corn, Stormy’s Grilled Cheese, Soap of the Earth, Wood Street Bakery, Sitka Salmon Shares, Decatur Dairy and the amazing array of fresh produce from Sunny Brook Farm, C & C Farms, and Peach Tree Organic Gardens,” said Kristine Zaballos, market co-manager and vendor contact. “And we are excited to welcome new vendors like Bubble Tea, Alice Hall Fiber Designs, Hoots Fruits and Vegetables, and Sweet Sawyer Creations — among many others.”
While most vendors attend weekly, a few have a biweekly or more sporadic schedule. Interested market goers can follow “Whitewater City Market” on Facebook for a regular update on the specific vendors who plan to attend the market on a given week or email director@downtownwhitewater.com and ask to be added to the market e-newsletter, which includes the vendor line up and other weekly market highlights.
About the organizations:
The Whitewater City Market is a weekly farmers market that was started to create a space for the community to come together and shop for locally sourced goods. Downtown Whitewater, Inc is a nonprofit, community-based organization devoted to preserving, improving, and promoting Whitewater’s quality of life by strengthening our historic downtown as the heartbeat of the community. The programming district includes a distinctive three-sided wedge — formed by Main Street, Whitewater Street, and Fremont Street — that is the origin for our neighborhood’s nickname and brand, the Triangle.
