The Downtown Hazleton Farmer's Market will be held as scheduled this Friday, July 30, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the corner of Broad and Laurel streets.

As previously announced, the City of Hazleton will offer free parking to customers of the Downtown Hazleton Farmer’s Market during market hours (Fridays from 10AM-2PM) along the north side of Broad Street between Laurel and Wyoming Streets throughout the end of August.

In addition to the fruits, vegetables, and flowers for sale, and the many services of local health and wellness organizations, this week’s market will also feature music by The Two of Us during the lunchtime hour (11:45 AM -1:00 PM). Customers should be reminded that Burger’s Farm accepts FMNP vouchers as well as EBT/SNAP cards.

“Now that we have the beautiful new Can Do Community Park built at the corner, there is no longer the parking lot available to customers. Thankfully Mayor Jeff Cusat agreed to offer free on-street parking to customers in order to make sure that people can easily support our market without the fear of a parking ticket,” said Mary Malone, Chamber President and market coordinator. Parking spaces dedicated to the market will be bagged accordingly.

The Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce, which operates the Downtown Hazleton Farmers’ Market, is seeking vendor applications for the 2021 season. The first market of the season will take place on Friday, July 9th. The 2021 market, sponsored by the Lehigh Valley Health Network-Hazleton, will run each Friday from 10AM until 2PM through August 27th. Burger’s Farm will return as the primary produce vendor. The market will be held at the corner of Broad and Laurel Streets at the new CAN DO Community Park.

“Due to COVID-19 we didn’t host the market last year,” said Krista Schneider, Executive Director of the Downtown Hazleton Alliance for Progress, “and unfortunately some of our longtime vendors had to change their plans and their business operations. So we are really looking for all types of vendors. Artists and crafters are also welcome.” The Chamber operates the market with the support of the Downtown Hazleton Alliance for Progress.
