Temperatures are increasing and the city’s plant life is turning to vibrant hues of green, spring is officially in the air here in Chicago! And with it comes the start of the city’s numerous farmers markets. This past Thursday, the largest running farmers market in Chicago, Daley Plaza Farmers Market, opened once again. Crowds were able to peruse collections of richly colored fruits and veggies while strolling through the Plaza. The market is a great way to support local farmers, while ensuring that your veggies are fresh and in season. The Plaza offers a wide variety of product booths and sights, try picking up one of the freshly baked goods and treats offered at the booths and take a perch at the fountain, enjoying the sights of the market as well as the historic square that is home to the renowned Picasso sculpture. Pick up some fresh flowers to brighten up your home, or simply just browse the many sellers’ offerings, taking in all that the local farmers have to offer.
The market is located at 50 W. Washington Street, near the blue line, and runs from 7am to 3 pm every Thursday until October 26. Not located near the plaza? Don’t worry, the city boasts an impressive array of markets across the area, many of which accept Link!
