Troy Waterfront Market goes outside on Saturday

The Troy Waterfront Farmers Market returns to the Monument Square neighborhood as of this Saturday. 

The Greater Capital Region's largest such market will feature more than 100 farmers and fresh food vendors along the square and several adjacent blocks. This season, the market will feature new vendors, the return of the Makers Market, live music, prepared food, expanded eating areas, and community tables. 

The market will run every Saturday through October from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. 

As the market organizers describe it, "On the busiest Saturdays, as many as 15,000 people visit the market to shop for fresh local produce, meats, seafood, prepared foods and handmade crafts. Couples, families, college students, and neighborhood regulars all mingle in Monument Square and on the surrounding streets, milling around between the tents, sidewalk tables and music stages. 

"From November to April the market moves inside to the Troy Atrium. Many stay to socialize and explore the charming shops and vibrant eateries in one of the most perfectly preserved 19th Century downtowns in the United States."
