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.

New vendor applications are still being accepted. Anyone interested in being a vendor will need to file a Vendor Application with the Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce. There is no cost to apply, but all vendors must obtain a Farmer’s Market business license from the City of Hazleton. The fee for this is $50. All vendors must also carry insurance for general liability and property damage and name the Greater Hazleton Chamber of Commerce and the City of Hazleton as added insureds. Vendor application and business license forms are available on the web at https://www.downtownhazleton.org/farmers-market.html.
