Happy 250th, America
Of course we want to see you at the Market every Saturday. But especially this Saturday. We’re going all out to celebrate our country’s 250th birthday.
We’ll have special guests from that era and another era that happened almost 90 years later. We’ll have copies of the Declaration of Independence and a special reading of it between 9 and 9:30 a.m., posters of what was happening in Detroit in 1776, a list of historic farmers markets, stuff for kids including art projects and old-fashioned games and much more – including the freshest produce around.
See you Saturday!
We are an award-winning market and a trusted source of healthy, local and sustainable produce. We offer a vibrant marketplace with music and special programs that create a nourishing community connection. We are open rain or shine – or snow – from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays, May 2 through November 7, at the Sundquist Pavilion, 33113 Grand River Ave. in downtown Farmington.
Special Market Music will celebrate the 4th
The Market Music will do some time-traveling on Saturday. Early in the day, market shoppers will hear Livonia’s Harmony Town Chorus (above), founded in 1944, sing in a traditional barbershop way. Then marketers will travel back more than 160 years when the Peace Jubilee Brass Band plays Civil War-era music from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. in Riley Park. The band will be followed by the more contemporary Billy Brandt who will provide the Market’s regular soundtrack till our 2 p.m. closing.
Music for Summer in the City
