Sweet Heat

Remember last week? So sunny and downright temperate? Well, it'll be sunny and gorgeous for the Market this Saturday, but it's going to be warm - exactly the right way to usher in July and the middle of summer.


Here are some scenes from last weekend. This weekend will look similar, only better and foodier, we think. Imagine... peaches, tomatoes, berries, potatoes, summer squash, cucumbers, and more...

If you're not heading out of town for the weekend but instead have people coming to you, bring them to the Market - it's a major slice of C-U summer weekend life. Having a cookout? The Market's vendors can provide just about everything you need for grillables, sides, salads, and desserts. Our vendors also offer a great selection of gifts and art, too.


Community groups with us this weekend on Walnut Street: Vet Med, Champaign County Bikes, Urbana Free Library, Crisis Nursery, Community Center for the Arts, Champaign County Democrats, Amasong, Eastern Illinois Foodbank, and several others. We'll also have some seating in that area so you can grab some shade, eat your waffle from CraveTruck or your sandwich from Fryer Tuck, or sip your iced coffee/tea from Art Mart, and chat. Please swing through!


Overall, it's shaping up to be a terrific weekend - make us a part of it!
