Hello friends of the Spokane Public Market,
We have some most unfortunate news, the market this year is suspended.
Due to some unforeseen and unfortunate circumstances the market is no able to operate in 2018.
There were some out of town investors that did not complete thorough research in the downtown area and intend to open a indoor lunch style market only a block away from the current and existing spokane public market @ the parkade plaza.
2017 was an excellent launch and we appreciate all of the support and love exchanged and we took so much delight in bringing a farmers market style market to the iconic Parkade Plaza in downtown spokane.
The misinformed investors caused many vendors a scare with business and they also are planning on charging a high rent for their spaces which didnt make for the best combination.
As a member of the Inland Northwest Farmers Market Association we strive to always put community first and give a safe place to buy fresh and buy local and we support the endeavors of the new market.
However the uncertainty prevails for this summer and it is with great sadness to suspend the market for the season.
Thankfully there are some excellent farmers markets in the Spokane area that are open and running!
Have a wonderful summer market season and we hope to see you next season in full bloom!
Thank you for all your support and it lead to the success of opening and running the 2017 season of the Spokane Public Market.
Thank you all and have a great summer!
