SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The Downtown Farmers Market will open for its 48th season on Tuesday in Clinton Square, the Downtown Committee of Syracuse, Inc. said.

Those interested can find locally grown fruits, vegetables, plants, and flowers at the Downtown Farmers Market every Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

This year’s market season will continue every Tuesday “rain or shine” through Oct 12, the Downtown Committee said.

To support the health of shoppers, farmers and staff, organizers continue to follow public-health guidance for farmers markets, as outlined by New York State Agriculture and Markets.

Face coverings are optional for those who are fully vaccinated and requested for those who are not. Organizers will also provide handwashing stations throughout the market, “as a comfort and courtesy to guests,” the Downtown Committee said.

The event’s opening Tuesday will include live music during lunch time (weather permitting) with the Kambuyu Marimba Ensemble. The group will perform between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., per its website. The Downtown Farmers Market will include live music on the second Tuesday of each month.

As the growing season continues, as many as 50 of the region’s farmers and produce dealers will be involved each week.

Next month, the Food Bank of Central New York will resume its presence at the market, with an information booth and pre-made samples of items prepared by nutrition educators.
