Downtown Evanston Farmers' Market Season Begins May 7
The Downtown Evanston Farmers’ Market kicks off the 2011 season on Saturday, May 7. The Market will be held from 7:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. every Saturday from May 7 through November 5. The market is located at the intersection of University Place and East Railroad Avenue, Evanston.
Now in its 36th year, this huge market has a festive atmosphere and is a real crowd-pleaser! Over 35 vendors sell a wide variety of goods, including fruits, vegetables, meat, flowers, cheese, milk, eggs and bakery items. Free parking is available in the adjacent 1800 Maple Avenue Self Park. If you forget your shopping bags, reusable and biodegradable bags are sold on site.
Special events are held throughout the season, including food demonstrations and tastings conducted by Now We’re Cookin’ and “Homegrown Artists” displaying and selling their artwork.
Evanston’s other three farmers’ markets open in early June.
