Outdoor Troy Waterfront Farmers Market Returns April 3 To Riverfront Park

TROY, N.Y. (4/2/21) — The Troy Waterfront Farmers Market (TWFM) will hold its first outdoor market of the season this Saturday, April 3. The market will be returning to Riverfront Park, the same location as last fall.

"We're starting our twenty-second outdoor season a month earlier than usual this year," said Steve Ridler. "Although it will not be the festival-like street bazaar of pre-COVID days, Riverfront Park offers a pleasant and safe location in the heart of downtown Troy."

As the season advances, more than 80 vendors will participate in the outdoor market held at Troy's Riverfront Park along the Hudson River. As usual, free parking will be available on city streets and in the nearby Uncle Sam Parking Garage. Pedestrians can enter and exit the market from Front Street as well as from the Riverfront Plaza Staircase on River Street (with the prominent "TROY.NY" mural).

Market hours will be 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Masks are required to be worn in the market area. Customers may request a mask if they do not have one. All safety protocols from last season apply and can be found at: https://www.troymarket.org/the-market-2021

Cash is encouraged as not all vendors accept credit cards. SNAP/ EBT are accepted. Two ATMs are available ta the market. Dogs are not allowed, excepting service animals.

"The Troy Waterfront Farmers Market is closely watching COVID trends and continually reviewing guidance. Even with vaccines increasing, it is not time to let our guard down and for the safety of vendors, staff, customers and the wider community we still need to maintain our safety protocols in the market,” Ridler said.

ONLINE MARKET CONTINUES
