Uptown Farmers Market Update

At our Apr. 15 Annual Meeting, Farmers Market Committee Co-Chairs Dan Sutton and Jonathan Beck gave updates about the upcoming Uptown Farmers Market. They’ve led a process with many area neighborhood associations to re-envision the prior East Isles Farmers Market into a collaborative effort. Highlights below are detailed in the slideshow above.

The 2025 Uptown Farmers Market will be:

  • 4 – 8 PM Thursdays, from June 12 – Sept. 25

  • located at Girard Plaza, beside Seven Points on W Lake St

  • 30–40 vendors, including food producers and artisans

  • featuring local musicians in an ongoing program

  • hosting events like cooking demos, public art-making, and special activations with area businesses

  • promoted through bus posters, print/digital ads, merchandise, yard signs, and PR interviews

  • building community through food in the heart of Uptown

Your support plays a key role in reinvigorating Uptown! Ways to support:

  • Make a financial contribution to support the market today!

  • Mark your calendars for 4 – 8 PM, Thursdays, June 12 – Sept. 25 as a time to gather in Uptown!

  • Late May: Contribute your “Wishes for Uptown” at an Uptown business (toward a public art piece).

  • Sign up to volunteer! We’ll reach out when those opportunities are ready.

  • If you’re an interested vendor, apply with us! If you’re not, share the opportunity with business friends!
