June 29, 2017

The Revere Farmers Market returns for 2017 with a special Grand Opening Event on Friday, July 7, from 12-4:30 PM, on the American Legion lawn (249 Broadway). Mayor Brian Arrigo is excited announce a number of new initiatives designed to make this year’s Market the best one yet.

The Grand Opening will feature several special events including:

-Face painting from 1-3 PM
-Live music by local artist Amy Spillert from 2:30-4:30 PM
-Moon Bounce donated by Perfect Parties

Under the direction of new Farmers Market manager Haley Hanton, an experienced health and fitness professional, the Market is planning many exciting initiatives for the coming season - including yoga classes, musical guests, and fun new vendors such as cider houses and smoothie popsicles.

These new initiatives will supplement an already existing outstanding selection of local produce, as well as the critical matching program to enhance the buying power of veterans, seniors, and low-income individuals paying with WIC or SNAP.

"I am devoted to making this market not only a captivating platform to shop local produce and artisans, but a venue to enjoy your day full of activities and excitement,” said Hanton. “My goal is to create a community around health and well being."

“The Revere Farmers Market serves a critical role in helping Revere families access healthy, affordable food,” said Mayor Brian Arrigo.

“The steps we are taking this year will help bring the market to the next level, by also making it a destination - a place where families and friends can come together to enjoy food, crafts, arts, public events, and more. I’m excited to cut the ribbon next Friday and get this season started. Residents will see continued improvement in the Farmers Market in the seasons to come.”

The Farmers Market is an initiative of Revere on the Move, a collaboration between the City of Revere and Massachusetts General Hospital. The Market will run every Friday from July 7 to October 6, from 12 PM-4:30 PM. For more information contact 781-286-8198 or reverefarmersmarket781@gmail.com.
