Worcester University Park Farmers Market Users In Market Season

WORCESTER, MA — The Regional Environmental Council on Saturday will celebrate the season kickoff for the University Park farmers market, which means farmers market season is now in full swing in Worcester.

In addition to a selection of fresh produce from vendors like Coolidge Hill Farm, Fay Mountain Farm and Crown and Roots Farm, REC Worcester on Saturday will have free family activities like face painting, balloon art and science demonstrations.

The University Park opening kicks off a season of regular Saturday markets (9 a.m. to noon) in Main South, with family programs also continuing all summer. REC Worcester's other seasonal market at Beaver Brook Park began June 24, and will happen every Monday and Friday, also from 9 a.m. to noon.
