Tonight's Uptown Farmers Market is cancelled due to air quality and extreme heat—see you next week!

Unfortunately, we are canceling today’s farmers market (7/16) due to the extreme heat and a hazardous air quality warning issued by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.

All vendors will be receiving a refund for today’s attendance fees.

Our first priority is the health and safety of our vendors, staff, volunteers, musicians, tabling organizations, entertainers, and customers.

Stay safe out there! See you soon.
