School's out for summer! ☀️

We are officially declaring this Saturday KIDS DAY at Riverwalk Market Fair! Bring the whole family down for a morning packed with free treats, fun activities, and market magic.

Here is what we have lined up for the kiddos:

Free Ice Cream! 🍦 Our amazing Harvest Sponsor, T-Fiber (T-Mobile), will be passing out free ice cream.

Story Time 📚 The Northfield Public Library Minnesota is hosting a special story time starting at 10:45am.

POP Club Tokens 🥦 As always, kids can grab their Power of Produce (POP) Club $5 token to spend on their favorite fresh produce!

The Radish Hunt! 🔍 Keep your eyes peeled—find the hidden stuffed radish around the market and you'll win $10 to spend at any booth!

Fountain Wishes 🪙 Pick out a lucky penny and make a wish in the fountain.

Incredible Vendors 🎈 Stroll through our vendor booths and find delicious baked goods, hot dogs, balloon animals, stickers, fidgets, jewelry, and even some good jokes.

We are incredibly grateful to the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF) for helping us support our local farmers! 🚜

Through their generous grant, we’ve been able to provide vendor fee discounts to many of our farmer vendors. Farming is a labor of love, but it also comes with massive uncertainties—from unpredictable weather to fluctuating market prices that are entirely out of our farmers' control. These scholarships make participating in the market much more accessible and sustainable.

When we support our farmers, we secure fresh, local food for our entire community. Thank you, SMIF, for lifting up our vendors and helping our market thrive! 🧑‍🌾

Father’s Day is just around the corner, and Riverwalk Market Fair is your one-stop shop for gifts as unique as he is!

From handcrafted cutting boards and small-batch hot sauces to premium coffees, spice blends, and one-of-a-kind mugs, you’re sure to find something he’ll love.

Pro-tip: The best gift of all is quality time. Bring Dad to the market and make a morning of it together! ❤️

We are so grateful to Northfield Shares - Northfield MN Community Foundation for awarding us a grant to support our Farm to Families program! Thanks to their generous funding, we’ve already been able to donate 160 pounds of fresh produce to the Community Action Center - Northfield food shelf this summer!

Our Farm to Families program is a true win-win-win:

👩‍🌾 Supporting local farmers: At the end of each market, we purchase leftover produce from our vendors at a bulk rate, putting more well-deserved cash in their pockets.

🌱 Fighting food waste: Beautiful, nourishing food stays out of the compost and goes right where it’s needed most.

🥕 Feeding our neighbors: Families visiting the CAC food shelf get access to fresh, locally grown, and nutrient-dense produce.

Thank you, Northfield Shares, for helping us strengthen our local food system and support our neighbors!

We are incredibly proud to share an interview featuring one of our very own talented vendors and dedicated Board members, Kathy Ness!

Kathy sat down with the Sustaining The Sustainability Office radio show at Carleton College to discuss her beautiful businesses, UPcycleMN and KNess Designs. In the episode, she dives into her creative process, her mission to combat fast fashion, and how she transforms discarded cloth and old clothing into durable, practical, and gorgeous works of art—from unique clothing to everyday bags.

Come see Kathy’s incredible upcycled creations in person at an Riverwalk Market Fair this Saturday. Supporting local artists and the planet never looked so good!
