- From the market
- Uptown Farmers Market is celebrating its sixth spring season in 2025, having grown from 20 vendors in 2020 to over 60 in 2025. In 2025, the Market has launched a new initiative for children in Radish Roots Corner, providing $4 in tokens to spend on fruits and vegetables, inspiring a new generation to good health! Every week the Market hosts cooking demos, children\'s activities, musicians, food trucks, and a variety of seasonal activities. The market footprint shifts to the parking lot section in front of the mural and tightens up to form a cozy and vibrant gathering spot during the chillier months. With only two hours to shop, the Market stays busy with patrons excited to buy fresh produce during the Winter months and still access all of their favorite artisan vendors.
