Happy springtime, Greenpointers! Down to Earth Markets, the crew behind the McGolrick Park Farmers Market, is happy to announce that this Sunday brings an annual rite of passage: the farmers market moves back OUTSIDE. Starting May 3rd, the market returns to the center of McGolrick Park. Find us in the wide-open space in front of the Shelter Pavilion, surrounded by the park’s budding trees.
We’ve been keeping toasty by warming up for our Valentine’s Market and hope you can join us this Sunday, February 8th, 2015, 1-7PM at the Greenpoint Loft (67 West St, 5th Fl).
With the 60+ vendors, this market is going to be an amazing place to buy unique and high quality gifts for your sweetie and yourself.
The day will feature FREE fun activities including massages by Human@Ease, Nail Art by @Peenk, and a Photo Booth.
In addition, we’re super excited to have Greenpoint Beer & Ale provide delicious craft beer specially brewed for this occasion. We also welcome The Haiku Guys (who were just written up in the NYT) into the fold to write personalized love-themed verses onsite. And thanks to Brooklyn Gin, we will be serving a lovey dovey Rosewater Gimlet!
Greetings! On behalf of everyone behind the McGolrick Park Farmers Market, Happy Holiday season. We raise our glass to peace on Earth and goodwill to all.
Stop by the market this Sunday, December 28th, and next Sunday, January 4th, 2015 for good wishes and great foods by local farmers and food makers. We are open every Sunday, from 11 am to 4 pm, all winter. It’s warm and cozy at our home inside the Lutheran Church of the Messiah, 129 Russell Street, between Driggs and Nassau Avenues.
