Hoffman Heights Library to host second annual farmers market this summer

Aurora Public Library has partnered with the mission-driven organization Rebel Marketplace to bring a farmers market to Hoffman Heights Library, 1298 Peoria St., through August. First market to take place May 27.

The farmers market at Hoffman Heights Library was created to be an authentic neighborhood marketplace run and operated by surrounding community businesses with the library as the hub. Each farmers market will take place from 6 to 8 p.m., Wednesdays, May 27, June 24, July 29 and Aug. 26, and the library branch will remain open late on those dates to offer additional programs and services, such as themed storytimes, beginner container gardening, pickling workshop, DIY painted totes, mushroom cultivation and beeswax wraps.

"Bringing back this unique partnership with Rebel Marketplace means Hoffman Heights Library continues to be a hub of community building," said Director of Library and Cultural Services Ginger White Brunetti. "Bringing fresh, local food as well as themed programs on healthy living ties to the library's values of access and resourcefulness, a way to provide unique services that may not be known to be held at a library."

Each day of the farmers market will accept SNAP and Double Up Food Bucks. Learn more at AuroraGov.org/FarmersMarket.
