After moving to a drive-through format last year, the Downtown Farmers' Market will return in more traditional fashion 7 a.m.-noon tomorrow in the Court Avenue district. Because of the pandemic, there will be 110 vendors, about half the normal number, and products will primarily be fresh produce and farm- and artisan-packaged food.
Masks will be required and one-way paths will be designated throughout the market. Find more information here.
