The Main Street Farmer’s Market in Douglasville will be continuing this summer on Thursdays from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Old Courthouse Lawn. The market will run from May 24 through Aug. 30. The market will feature fresh produce, organic meats and cheeses, handcrafted items, baked goods, and specialty items.
The City is encouraging local growers, artisans, and crafts people to participate. Douglasville’s Main Street Manager, Stephanie Aylworth stated, “We had such a positive response to the Farmer’s Market this spring we decided to extend it into the summer. Because of logistics we will be moving the market just one block over to the Old Courthouse Lawn.”
A portion of the vendor fees will go towards the Old Courthouse Museum. The museum will be open during the market and has recently updated some of is exhibits. The Market Coordinator is now taking vendor applications for the upcoming Summer Farmer’s Market.
For more information about the Summer Main Street Farmer’s Market contact the Market Coordinator at 678-715-2033 or cvbclerk1@ci.douglasville.ga.us.
The Douglasville Main Street program and the Downtown Development Authority aids in the revitalization efforts of the City of Douglasville’s Historic Downtown. More information about the Main Street program can be found at www.downtowndouglasville.org

Commissioner Mike Mulcare wanted to spend at least $20 million to build a Farmer's Market building.
Guess we didn't need to spend that $20 million after all.

I would like to see a dog park instead. No one has one anywhere close. Farmers market building, why?

I think it's pretty obvious why a Farmers Market building is needed. It's a convenience for those of us who don't want to have to drive all the way to Dekalb for fresh, organic meats and foods. But, it's no surprise that Douglasville doesn't have an actual, year-round farmer's market given that its so back woods and refuses to modernize.
