Calumet Farmers Market location changes for 2024
From the Ground Farmers Market Collective (FTGFMC) is looking forward to the market season, and reminds market patrons of Calumet Farmers Market’s new 2024 location. Due to planned renovations at the previous site next to the Calumet Theatre, the market will relocate this season to Agassiz Park in Calumet, Michigan.
Leah Polzien, FTGFMC Board Chair and Main Street Calumet Executive Director shares: "The old site in the 300 block between 5th and 6th Streets will be undergoing a transformation this summer! The site will be rebuilt to include accessible sidewalks and pathways, lighting, seating, and landscaping to create an inviting public green space. When complete, we anticipate a space that will welcome residents, visitors, and our farmers market!"
In the meantime, Agassiz Park will serve as the interim home for the market. Leah Polzien continues:
"The park does offer bathroom facilities, additional greenspace, and will provide customers and vendors plenty of room to move! We're excited about the amenities Agassiz Park offers and believe it will be a wonderful location for our community to gather and support local farmers and artisans."
The Calumet Farmers Market is dedicated to providing fresh, locally-grown produce and handcrafted goods to the community. The market is a cherished Saturday tradition that brings together farmers, artisans, and customers, fostering a vibrant local economy and a sense of community.
