Belfast to host second farmers market

BELFAST – Visitors to the second Belfast Farmers Market “Special Friday Street Festival” on June 23 will be treated to the talents of storytelling singer and musician Jennifer Armstrong and improvisational dance artist Helena Melone.

Both local women will share the stage on Upper Main Street between 10 a.m. and noon.

Belfast Farmers Market will hold a series of monthly Special Friday Street Festivals from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the block of Main Street between Post Office Square and High Street.

The street will be closed to traffic, allowing pedestrians to shop for organic foods and goods produced in the area while enjoying a range of local talents. The market’s Special Friday Street Festivals are planned to run through October.

The Belfast Farmers Market, open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, May until October, offers locally grown organic produce as well as locally produced cheeses, breads, foods and handicrafts. On most Fridays the market is sited in the parking area below Dudley’s Diner on Lower Main Street. Once a month the market relocates to Upper Main Street for a Special Friday Street Festival with family-friendly entertainment.
