Residents and visitors of Plymouth, get ready to adjust your travel plans for Wednesday. Plymouth Boulevard is slated to be shuttered to traffic from 34th to 36th avenues, starting from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m., to make way for the Fall Farmers Market on the Boulevard. According to an announcement by the City of Plymouth government, the necessary closure will provide space for the event's setup and subsequent takedown.
Although this stretch will be inaccessible for vehicles, the roundabout at 36th Avenue N. is set to stay open, ensuring entrance to 36th Avenue N., Life Time Fitness center, and the Plymouth Ice Center. Similarly, the roundabout at 34th will also remain open, which will allow vehicles to reach the nearby Plymouth City Hall and other local businesses. A map detailing the closure has been made available for those wishing to navigate the area.
For those looking to indulge in fresh produce and artisan goods, the Fall Farmers Market beckons with promise. Scheduled to run from 2 to 6 p.m. on the same day as the road closure, the market will host about 25 local vendors. According to the City of Plymouth's bulletin, offerings will range from farm-fresh produce to prepared foods and handcrafted items. While shoppers are encouraged to carry cash, some vendors might accept credit card payments.
The market also remains committed to fostering community food support. It offers benefits for participants in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). At the City of Plymouth booth, individuals using EBT cards can purchase tokens, "which can then be used to purchase eligible items from participating vendors," according to the City of Plymouth's bulletin. However, it's important to note that dogs, unless they are service animals, will not be permitted to accompany marketgoers.
For convenience, several parking options are available. On-street parking can be found on Plymouth Boulevard, north of 36th Avenue N., and along 34th Avenue near the Post Office. Additional parking spaces are available at the Plymouth City Hall and the Plymouth Ice Center. Handwashing stations will be on hand, and attendees are encouraged to wash and sanitize regularly during their visit to the market.
Sponsors of the 2025 Plymouth Farmers Market include Metronet and South Lake Pediatrics. For more details about the event and the road closure, visit the City of Plymouth bulletin.
