About the event

The Empire Market is a growing food-centric public market open every Saturday from 10a-2p. You might have been to something similar in other cities including Kansas City’s River Market, Soulard Market in St. Louis or Pike Place Market in Seattle. Opened in late April of 2018, the Empire Market has 35-45 vendors each week, all selling items they have made or grown themselves. You won’t find any veggies with stickers here!
