Opening Day May 5, 2012!

Urbana's Market at the Square is launching its 34th season Saturday, May 5!

Finally! Our early spring here in Central Illinois practically guarantees an unusual abundance of fresh, locally-grown produce, flowers, and plants will be for sale on our first date of the season. Come check out the selection, and make sure to hit all five rows of the Market - prepared food vendors, artisans, musicians, and community organizations are also major components to our Market this and every season. 

A few examples of the produce you can expect this weekend include lettuce, spinach, salad mixes, chard, green onions, baby carrots, leeks, and the two crown jewels of the season, asparagus and strawberries. 

Weather this weekend: The forecast high for Saturday is 83 degrees, with a slight chance of showers and a light breeze. Bring an umbrella, just in case! You can check here for an updated weather forecast.

We're all over various social media sites! You can follow the Market's Facebook, Twitter,blog, and we now post at Pinterest, too.
