COVID-19 Updates
The following measures will be in place on the plaza during the Farmers’ Festival to ensure proper social distancing, sanitation, and safety is observed by vendors and guests alike:
● North Market’s mask requirement that applies to indoor merchants and guests will also apply to all outdoor vendors and guests.
● Access to each farmers’ market booth will be limited. Markings on ground will indicate this requirement and will show the distance required between people. Only one person/group traveling together may be in each box at a time.
● Several farms and vendors will offer contact free shopping and pre-orders. North Market asks that guests pre-order and plan out shopping trips when possible. This helps us keep crowds to a minimum and lines moving smoothly.
● Farms and vendors will provide hand sanitizer for guest use.
● North Market farms and vendors are committed to helping prevent the spread of illness by washing hands frequently, covering coughs/sneezes, staying home when sick, and avoiding exposure to others who are sick. We ask that all guests follow the same protocols and do not visit North Market or the Farmers’ Market if feeling ill.
● North Market farms and vendors will continue to strictly follow all local public health guidelines, safety protocols, and best practices.
