The City of South Bend’s Engagement and Economic Empowerment team has announced its schedule for the third year of the Linden Avenue Pop-Up Markets.
“We are beyond ecstatic to offer the third year of the Linden Avenue Pop-Up Markets,” said Mary McAfee, Director of Engagement & Economic Empowerment. “Although it may be in a new location, our mission remains the same in expanding access to fresh nutritional food to our west-side communities.”
While the MLK Jr. Community Center is being renovated, the pop-up markets will be held at the Charles Black Community Center at the corner of N Falcon and W Washington Street on the following dates:
Saturday, June 10th from 1 to 5 pm
Saturday, July 8th from 1 to 5 pm
Saturday, August 12th from 1 to 5 pm
Saturday, October 14th from 1 to 5 pm
The markets will feature local food vendors, farmers, and entertainment. There will also be a raffle for South Bend residents to win a Char-Broil Performance 5-Burner Gas Grill.
“We are determined to continue creating healthy food options for communities that have often been overlooked, while also empowering local businesses, entrepreneurs, and farmers,” said Hannah Pak, Marketing Coordinator for the Linden Avenue Pop-Up Markets.
The City is still seeking food vendors, farmers, information vendors and others to participate in the market. If you are interested in participating, you can fill out the application at //southbendin.gov/the-linden-ave-pop-up-markets/.
