The month of May is here, which often means it’s Indy 500 month in Indiana, but Fishers will be ramping up another year of Farmers’ Markets on the first Saturday of the month. However, the location will move slightly, at least for a while.
The Farmers’ Market has been held next to the Nickel Plate Amphitheater stage for a number of years, but that area is under construction and will be at least a few more weeks. That means the 2018 start of the Farmers’ Market will be setup on the south end of City Hall in the green area near 116th Street.
The market begins each Saturday at 8 a.m. and ends at noon.
There will be musical acts, but without a stage, city officials are working on having the acts locate on the steps of the Braden Building.
There will be no change for the food available, including local produce, baked goods and prepared foods from over 60 full- and part-time vendors.
The best places to park for the Farmers’ Market will be the garages adjacent to The Switch Building and The Depot. IU Health Saxony will sponsor the weekly events.
“The Fishers Farmers’ Market represents what it means to be smart, vibrant and entrepreneurial in Fishers,” said Mayor Scott Fadness in a city news release. “We’re proud to work with Indiana vendors and local entrepreneurs who truly make Saturday mornings in Fishers a vibrant and welcoming experience for residents and visitors.”
Some special events for future Farmers’ Markets include:
- Biz Kidz Day – July 14
- Health & Wellness Expo – Aug. 4
- Fall Harvest Festival – Sept. 29
