Town of Poughkeepsie Launches New Weekly Outdoor Market

A new weekly outdoor market makes its debut this week in the Hudson Valley.

Just as the summer farmers' markets are beginning to wind down, a new weekly event kicks off in the Town of Poughkeepsie.

The pop-up market promises to offer fresh produce, baked goods and other products while encouraging residents to get outside and enjoy a nature trail, walking track and playground for the kids.

Monday Market Kicks Off September 8

The Town of Pougkeepsie is launching its new Monday Market on September 8 in Stanley Still Park. The event promises a long list of locally grown and artisanal foods as well as vendors selling unique items.

According to the town's recreation department, the market will include fresh produce and mushrooms, cookies, pretzels, donuts, gelato, breads, eggs, poultry, locally made sodas and spirits as well as hot Caribbean food and corn dogs.

There will also be vendors offering eco-friendly products, including natural body care items and custom tumblers.
