Park Ridge Farmers’ Market runs through October

Committed to bringing local farmers and artisans from around the Midwest to Uptown Park Ridge, the Farmers’ Market offers a variety of fresh herbs, flowers, specialty foods, baked goods, seasonal fruits and vegetables, and more. Don’t forget a bit of live music and kids’ activities as well. And it’s perfect for pumpkins, apple cider and a few of those colorful fall displays for the yard.

The market runs through the last Saturday of October from 7 a.m.–1 p.m. Don’t forget your mask! 15 Prairie Ave.
