The Batavia Farmers Market is a Saturday morning staple in the city during the warmer months. This summer, the Batavia MainStreet group also plans to hold an evening market on Wednesdays in the city’s downtown.
Batavia MainStreet Executive Director Beth Walker said the market will be held on River Street, similar to the summer farmers market “but on a smaller scale.” “We have six new vendors to the Batavia market and we were just thinking small but still getting a wide variety of product,” she said. “The park district also offers the River Rhapsody concert series on Wednesday nights, so we thought we’d take advantage of those people being downtown. They can pick up something to take to the music and just get people moving more around Batavia,” Walker said. “A lot of businesses will be staying open later on those nights too.”
