New Farmers Market Opens in Military Park

 

A vital element of downtown Newark’s evolving transformation is the new MILITARY PARK FARMER’S MARKET, which is held every Tuesday, from 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM, until October 14, 2014.  The market is operated by Bensidoun USA, a French company that pioneered the concept of open-air markets in the Chicago area before expanding to the East Coast’s tri-state area. 

Within the last two years,  the park has undergone a dramatic revitalization, worthy of its historical landmark status. It is the starting point for the NJ Historical Society’s tour of historic Newark landmarks.  Now a magnet for the community, the park sponsors a number of events and classes every day.
