The 95th Street Farmers Market in Naperville reopens for the season this week, with new and returning vendors offering local produce, baked goods and handcrafted merchandise.

Co-hosted by the Naperville Park District and Naperville Public Library, the weekly event takes place from 3 to 7 p.m. every Thursday in the parking lot of the 95th Street Library, 3015 Cedar Glad Drive.

Locally grown fruits and vegetables, jams, sauces, artisan grocery items and homemade breads are among the delicacies offered, officials said.
