Urban Market at Esplanade

RIVERWALK TRUST URBAN MARKET AT ESPLANADE

Every Saturday, beginning April 24
8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Fort Lauderdale, FL – Riverwalk Trust will sponsor an Urban Market on Saturdays beginning April 24 on the Riverwalk at Esplanade Park from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The market will feature fruit and vegetables, baked items, seafood, cheeses, pottery and other goods. The goal for providing the market is to activate the Riverwalk and to provide a service to the downtown and surrounding neighborhood residents.

Many unique and unusual products will be available at the market, including organic produce, seafood, organic soaps, pastries, fruit drinks, specialty coffees, granola, jams, jellies, oils and spices, olive mixes, pastas, sauces, mozzarella, breads, doughnuts, muffins, orchids, Peruvian food, guacamole, teas, organic healing herbs and more.

More than two dozen vendors have signed up for the market, including L’Hermitage Catering and Gourmet Emporium, Speckled Dog Pottery, Steve’s Stone Crab Claws and Swank Specialty Produce.

The market is free and open to the public.

Riverwalk Trust serves as the catalyst in building and nurturing Riverwalk as a vibrant community connected by the New River. Riverwalk Trust accomplishes this mission through advocacy on behalf of the Riverwalk Park, communication through its Web site and Go Riverwalk magazine, its diverse offerings of events and its membership activities. Riverwalk Trust is currently pursuing projects to enhance and protect the integrity of the Riverwalk community, such as design guidelines for thoughtful development, funding for capital improvements and park enhancements, park programming and sustainability, management and final completion. It is our goal to create a public space in Downtown Fort Lauderdale where the many functions of community life can take place, where people feel ownership and connectedness and where they perceive their riverfront park as true common ground. In short, we strive to create a great waterfront place where people want to be.
