Nicollet Mall Famers Market Finds New Location

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) –  The Nicollet Mall Farmers Market in Minneapolis is moving to another new location for the summer, thanks to construction.

For the 2016 season, the market will be held at the Hennepin County Government Center's South Plaza.

The South Plaza is located on 300 S. 6th Street downtown.

Last year, the Nicollet Farmers Market was moved to Hennepin Avenue.

"Hennepin County Government Center's South Plaza offers a fantastic green space that will allow patrons to gather, browse and shop in a convenient location," Farmers Market Manager Pat Nelson said in a recent press release.

In addition to the farmers market, the Hennepin County Government Center's South Plaza will also house Go Outside's summer programming from June 1 through Aug. 31.

Each Wednesday, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 :30 p.m. there will be food trucks, lawn games and other activities.

Go Outside beings Wednesday, June 1. The market kicks off on May 5. It will be open each Thursday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. through Nov. 10.

The market will move back to Nicollet Mall once the construction project complete.
