PEEKSKILL, NY – The Peekskill Farmers’ Market returns to its outdoor location on Bank Street, between Main and Park Streets in Downtown Peekskill, beginning Saturday, June 6, 2015 and continuing weekly through November 21, 2015. The market runs from 8AM – 2PM, rain or shine.

“Market Stage Live,” continues its second year featuring performances from local musicians, lessons from top chefs in local restaurants, author readings, as well as demonstrations with fitness and health practitioners. A ceremonial “Veggie Cutting” will take place to mark the market’s opening at 11AM.

“We are proud of our Farmers’ Market history and look forward to our newly expanded market which provides healthy eating options and tasty indulgences, supports small businesses and local farmers, and draws people into Downtown Peekskill to experience our restaurants, artists, local history and shops,” said Louie Lanza, the President of the Peekskill Business Improvement District, which oversees the market.

The Market’s opening day coincides with Peekskill Open Studios which occurs Saturday and Sunday, June 6 – 7, from Noon to 5PM, with more than forty artist studios, venues, galleries and special performances making for an “art-full” weekend.
