The Uptown Farmers Market Returns to the Wedge's Doorstep

The market runs Thursdays from 4 to 8 p.m., June 11 through Sept. 24, at MoZaic Plaza, 1330 Lagoon Ave., near the Wedge's eastern edge (uptownmarket.org). Organizers moved it two blocks north this year because of the Seven Points redevelopment construction nearby; the previous site sat closer to West Lake Street. The market features more than 25 vendors plus live music and cooking demonstrations.

This is the market's second summer, following a 2025 debut, so it is a young addition to the neighborhood calendar rather than a longstanding ritual. It remains an easy walk for much of Lowry Hill East and the surrounding neighborhoods.

The market matters more in a dense, renter-heavy neighborhood than it might elsewhere. For Wedge residents without big kitchens or cars, a nearby market doubles as a practical grocery run, and it fits the area's co-op culture and the kind of local economy the Lowry Hill East Neighborhood Association works to support, putting dollars directly with regional growers and makers.

Its return is also a seasonal marker, one beat in a warm-weather calendar that includes the lakes opening to canoes and the Walker's summer programming. The Thursday-evening schedule and new location are posted at uptownmarket.org.
