LINCOLN SQUARE — Construction around the Western Avenue Brown Line stop and adjacent plaza will force the Lincoln Square Farmers Market to move south when it opens this year.
The Lincoln Square Ravenswood Chamber of Commerce’s popular farmers market typically runs on Tuesday mornings and Thursday evenings from May to November along West Leland Avenue, between North Lincoln and North Western avenues.
Due to construction this year to upgrade the Western Avenue Brown Line stop and its plaza, this year’s market will move a few blocks south to the public parking lot at 4513 N. Lincoln Ave., said chamber business engagement manager Jeff Tabels.
“The much-anticipated CTA station area redesign is set to kick off this year, bringing lots of necessary upgrades to the area, including a redesigned parking lot that will enhance the customer experience at the Lincoln Square Farmers Market for years to come,” Tabels said.
The first day of this year’s Thursday market is May 2 and the first day of the Tuesday market is May 7, according to the chamber. The southern location is just south of the Warbler restaurant’s patio and across the street from the Old Town School of Folk Music, which hosts part of its summer Square Roots Festival in that space.
Vendors confirmed for this season’s market include Noffke Family Farms, Mick Klug, Dotson’s Farm, Los Rodriguez, Jacobson’s Family Farms, Compean & Son’s, Breadman Bakery, Nourish, Dorothy’s Bakery, Yang Town, Dinky’s Delights and Stampers Cheese, Tabels said.
