Â
Several parking lots surrounding the Farmers' Market offer free parking on Saturdays.
Visitors may park in the West Lot, immediately west of City Hall and south of 10th Street; in the Showers Red Permit Lot north of City Hall; and in the IU EM-S lot on Morton Street between 9th and 10th Streets. In addition, the City has made the grass lot at the corner of 11th and Rogers Street available for free parking during Farmers' Market hours on Saturday. The grass lot is accessible from 10th Street.
Partial closure of streets surrounding the Farmers' Market will allow extended Market boundaries to provide more and safer pedestrian access to the Market. The following streets will be closed during Market hours, between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Saturday:
- Morton Street between the entrance to Smallwood Apartments and 7th Street
- 8th Street from Rogers Street to immediately west of the B-Line Trail
- 7th Street between Morton and Madison Streets.
Market visitors may also park for free in the Morton Street parking garage at the corner of 7th and Morton. Drivers should take a ticket upon entering the garage, and bring it to City Hall during Farmers' Market hours for validation.
Tuesday Market - Closed for the season. See you in June 2020!
