From DOWNTOWN BOWLING GREEN
It’s hard to believe Market season is almost here! Your favorite Downtown Market can’t wait for the 2019 Season to start! After a record breaking year of vendors, customers, and community support- the market is ready to bring a fun new element to the table.
Last year, new food vendors were a huge hit amongst all attendees. Market guests were given a chance to refuel so they could hang out just a little longer to enjoy the festivities. Our Market Staff wants to keep that momentum going into the 2019 year by bringing an even bigger food element to the market- Food Trucks.
As fate would have it, Phil Barone, President of the Food Truck Association has big hopes to bring his many trucks to the Bowling Green Community. His association provides diverse, professional and delicious options for many festivals and events in the Northwest Ohio area. It seems like a perfect timing to join our Farmers’ Market, so we can “pull our great ideas together”, said Phil. “I’m looking forward to working with Sam, Tony, and the entire Downtown BG Special Improvement District to bring a new exciting element to the market”.
Director of Downtown Bowling Green S.I.D., Tony Vetter agreed with the partnership. “It just makes sense for the community, for these great organizations to come together for a successful weekly event.”
“Our market attendees and vendors spoke up last year, and we’re ready for this combo to happen,” said Market Manager, Samantha Beane. “Our market is going into its fourteenth season, and I want to work with great groups like the Food Truck Association, to keep our market exciting, fun, and the place to be on Wednesday nights!
The 2019 Market season begins May 8th and runs through October 16th, 2019. The Wednesday evening market runs from 4-7pm in the Huntington Bank Parking lot at 201 S. Main Street (on the corner of Clough & Main Street). Part of Clough Street will be blocked off for the Food trucks and the safety of those attending. Food trucks will be present at each market alongside both seasoned and new vendors. Our market will offer live music from the Stones Throw Stage, special events throughout the season and much more!!
