Wednesday Markets

It was one of the first markets in Baltimore to require all vendors to accept supplemental nutrition dollars, ensuring that economic status is not a barrier to shopping their selections. The market also hosts youth-oriented and family-friendly programs, such as Summer Meals, which provides nutritious dinners to school-aged children in the summer months, and Family Fun Fest, an evening of crafts and wellness events.
