THE FOLLOWING IS A RELEASE FROM GEORGE EVERETT OF MAINSTREET UPTOWN BUTTE:

Back by the popular demand for winter to be over, the Butte Farmers' Market will return for the 2024 season on Saturday, May 18 from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm on West Park Street between Main and Dakota Streets in Uptown Butte. The market will run every Saturday through the summer for 21 Saturdays until October 5.

The open-air fresh produce market has been a sure sign of summer in Uptown Butte since 1995.  Mainstreet Uptown Butte manages the popular outdoor market, assisting vendors to get set up to sell their fresh food and handmade, homemade and Montana made products.

At the request of vendors and customers alike, cigarettes and alcohol are prohibited inside the market and anyone smoking or drinking inside the market, including vendors will be asked to leave.Photo: Tommy O/Townsquare MediaPlease do not park on West Park Street between Main and Dakota Streets after 2 am on Friday nights.

Free parking again will be encouraged in the county parking garage but only at the Galena Street entrance for the lower level.  The upper level will be closed off starting at 8 am and will reopen for public use at 1:30 each Saturday.

The market will again feature a lively mix of fresh produce, cut flowers and other essential products from Southwest Montana.

Mainstreet Uptown Butte’s market coordinator will be on site throughout the Saturday market to answer customer questions about where to find what they are looking for in the market and for information about the many storefront businesses nearby throughout the district.

The long-running Butte Farmers' Market has a well-deserved reputation as a lively Saturday market that provides customers with colorful and hardy bedding plants, farm fresh eggs, fruits and vegetables from vegetable gardens throughout Western Montana and from several truck gardens and nurseries in the Butte area.

The market will continue to highlight fresh local food being brought from the farm to the table through the local farmers' market.
