“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 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.
