NCTC Proposes Eighth Street For Farmers Market

NEBRASKA CITY – Nebraska City Tourism and Commerce is hoping to expand the weekly farmers market to Eighth Street.

NCTC says the 2020 Farmers Market is a success so far this year, but has been limited to 10 vendors in order to meet social distancing directives.

Organizers are asking the city council for approval to add six more vendors in June by expanding into Eighth Street from Central Avenue to First Corso. They would also use the Veterans Memorial Building parking lot from 3 to 6 p.m. through Aug. 29.

A fall market is also proposed  from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays. It will be outside, but could move indoors to the Veterans Memorial Building basement.
