The unofficial start of summer kicks off this weekend with the Memorial Day holiday, and the City of Rochester Public Market will be open from 5 a.m. – 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 23, for the convenience of area shoppers. Saturday will be the only day the Market will be open during the three-day holiday weekend.
Market patrons will find a variety of produce and specialty food vendors on hand, along with a number of horticultural vendors with an abundance of plants, herbs, succulents and flowers for sale.
Due to the holiday, it’s anticipated that Saturday will be a busy shopping day, so customers who are looking for a less busy Market experience are encouraged to shop between 6 – 8 a.m. In addition, Market staff would like to remind patrons of the following rules:
• Keep your Market trip short and efficient
• Send only one member of your household to shop
• Avoid crowding and congregating
• Keep six feet apart from those around you
• Wear a mask or face covering
• Allow vendors to serve you instead of touching market products.
The Public Market remains open each week with normal hours on regularly scheduled Market days: Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 6 a.m. – 1 p.m. and Saturdays, from 5 a.m. – 3 p.m.
