Schaumburg's Popular Farmers Market Returns June 1

Schaumburg's 2018 Farmers Market-featuring locally-produced fruits, vegetables, baked goods and more-will open Friday, June 1 and run every Friday through the end of October.

The market will be open to the public from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. and is held in the parking lot of Trickster Art Gallery, 190 S. Roselle Road in Town Square.

The market includes locally-grown fruits and vegetables, meats, flowers, plants, and gourmet cheeses sold by the farmers who produce them. It also features decadent pastries, baked goods, olives, spices, homemade pasta and knife sharpening services. This family-friendly event offers freshly-squeezed lemonade, kettle corn and snow cones made on site.

The market will also offer a variety of entertainment throughout the season, including musicians performing on select dates, and appearances by the Schaumburg Park District, Schaumburg Township District Library, Al Larson Prairie Center for the Arts, Schaumburg Historical Society, Schaumburg Bike Patrol and the village's public safety heroes from the Police, Fire and Nursing Divisions and the Master Gardeners from the University of Illinois Cooperative Extension Service.
