Return of the Hamilton-Lauraville Tuesday Market
The Tuesday Market returns to the Hamilton-Lauraville neighborhood starting on June 1 at its new location on the 3000 block of Montebello Terrace at Harford Road. Visit local farmers, food vendors, artisans, and community group booths from 4-8 p.m. every Tuesday through October 26!
Sponsored by the Hamilton-Lauraville Main Street, the first season of the Tuesday Market met with overwhelming success, and the organizers anticipate strong community support for its second season. Nationally, there has been dramatic growth in farmers markets in the past few years. From 2008 to 2009, new markets increased by 12.6% due to concern for food safety, demand for healthier foods, and a desire to support local economies.
