Uptown Farmers Market shifts north for 2026 over construction

The market will run Thursdays from 4 to 8 p.m., June 11 through Sept. 24, at MoZaic Plaza, 1330 Lagoon Ave., the East Isles Neighborhood Association announced. The plaza sits two blocks north of the market's former home, a shift the association attributed to the Seven Points construction project reworking the blocks around Lagoon and Hennepin.

The market draws 30 to 40 vendors a week selling produce, meat and cheese, along with live music, cooking demonstrations and public-art activities, and is fiscally sponsored by the East Isles Neighborhood Association. Organizers are urging regular shoppers to confirm the new corner before heading over, since the move puts the market two blocks from where most have found it in past summers.

The relocation runs alongside other 2026 changes to Uptown's event calendar driven by the same construction churn, including the Uptown Art Fair's move to Lake of the Isles Parkway under the name Art on the Isles. For a commercial district that has lost storefronts and absorbed years of street work, keeping the weekly market open rather than pausing it preserves a midweek source of foot traffic.
