The Kingfield and Fulton Farmers Markets are part of two great neighborhoods, both of which are having Open Streets Festivals in September! Open Streets is City-wide initiative that allows residents to explore their neighborhood by foot or by bike, and get to know their streets in a whole new way.
This Sunday, 9/20, Nicollet Ave. will be closed to cars from Lake St. to 46th St. from 11:00 am - 5:00 pm. The Kingfield Farmers Market will be open as usual from 8:30 am - 1:00 pm and then will remain open with many vendors and fun activities until 4:00 pm! Stop by our normal market site (4310 Nicollet Ave S) for bike decorating from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, veggie tasting from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm, button making and temporary tattoos from 11:30 am - 3:30 pm, and free bike adjustments from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm.

The following Sunday, 9/27, 50th and France will be having its first ever Open Streets event! W 50th St will be closed to cars between Browndale Ave. in Edina and Beard Ave. in Minneapolis from 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm. Come by the Fulton Farmers Market for your shopping on Saturday and then check out the Fulton Farmers Market booth from 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm at Open Streets on Sunday! We’ll be near the intersection of 50th St & Chowen Ave S. Staff and volunteers from the market will be sampling veggies, making farmers market buttons and giving temporary market tattoos!
Join us in celebrating these awesome neighborhood events!
