Midsummer at the Market

Believe it or not, this Friday, June 21st marks Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year! What better way to celebrate Summer Sostice than by starting your day on Saturday with Yoga at 8am! Elizabeth Harness will be leading yoga at the market this week (BYO yoga mat and water).

After yoga, be sure to stop by the Midtown Flavors Cooking Demo Booth to sample some delicious salads made from vendor ingredients. The market provides ample opportunity to celebrate summer solstice by connecting you to your food and the producers of your food. And don’t forget, when you’re done with your breakfast, lunch, or mid-afternoon market snack, be sure to compost you paper products and food scraps in our green composting bins and help us reduce our waste!
