Rensselaer Riverfront Farmers Market
Rensselaer City Clerks Nancy Hardt and Julie Bink along with the Common Council, Mayor and other local officials encourage you to attend an exciting Ribbon Cutting Ceremony hosted by the Rensselaer County Chamber of Commerce to celebrate the grand opening of the Rensselaer Riverfront Farmers Market located at Riverfront Park, Broadway at Fourth Ave. on Thursday, August 10th, 2023, at 4:00 p.m.
This Market is for You, the Farmers and the Vendors. Scott Abraham; owner of the Rensselaer Riverfront Farmers Market describes the market as a farmers market mixed with a swap meet, tag sale, art gallery, a much smaller Brimfield, offering flowers, plants, and sessions that will teach, inspire, and create awareness.
The Farmers along with an eclectic and talented group of vendors and live music will bring a breath of fresh air to Rensselaer at just the right time with the closing of Aldi which creates a food desert in the south end of the City. We see this as a win-win by promoting the farmers, vendors and musicians while filling the void for our residents, business commuters and neighboring communities.
The Market will be held each Thursday starting on August 10th through the end of September and there may be a surprise event or two thrown in just for fun. Our special musical guests on opening day are Joe Adee and the Lug Nuts.
The City Of Rensselaer invites you to the Rensselaer Riverfront Park Farmers Market for Food, Fun, Crafts, Music, Community Engagement and to be part of this new and lively addition to our City.
