‘Market in the Park’ Debuts in Old Town Monrovia This Sunday
A new farmers’ market debuts in Monrovia Sunday, April 11, with the inauguration of “Market in the Park” on West Lime Avenue in Old Town.

The market will be adjacent to Library Park in the heart of Monrovia’s shopping, dining and entertainment district. It is scheduled to run every Sunday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m..

The new farmer’s market will not replace Monrovia’s popular Friday night Family Festival, now in its 18th year, which also features a certified farmers’ market in addition to food stalls, kiddie rides, merchandize booths and live entertainment. The Family Festival continues each Friday night from 5-9 p.m. along four blocks of Myrtle Avenue.

The smaller “Market in the Park” offers a different atmosphere on a different day at a different time. It will concentrate on farm-fresh produce, cut flowers, baked goods and fine food products without the accompanying commercial business and entertainment.

Like the Family Festival, it is sponsored by the businesses of Old Town.
