Come to the Market

Just in the nick of time to aid in a resurgent downtown summer, the 2010 season for the Poughkeepsie Main Street Farmers' Market begins on Friday, June 4! It will be open at 10 am, for a day packed with music, food, fun and a few surprises.
Join us at noon as we host Charlie North and the Dutchess County Regional Chamber of Commerce, performing one of their signature ribbon cuttings. Following the ceremony, attendees will peruse the fresh and prepared food offerings, mingle under the tents and nosh on delights from our matchless outdoor ethnic food court: Janet’s Jerk Stop, Molé Molé and Twisted Soul will all be back.
The market:

• Provides quality fresh, local food to downtown customers;
• Supports local farmers and producers;
• Provides a vibrant venue for art performances, theme days, cooking demonstrations, promotions and special events planned throughout the season.

The Poughkeepsie Main Street Farmers' Market is on the 200 block of Main Street in Mural Park, 1/2 block east of Market Street in downtown Poughkeepsie. There is free parking along Main Street, as well as in the municipal parking garage (accessed from Market or Garden Streets) located behind the market — see Steve Hopkins, in his second year as Market Manager, for a parking garage validation sticker.
