The Flandreau Farmers Market is making its way back to the east end of the Moody County Courthouse complex this summer but with one notable change. Instead of gathering weekly, the market will now be held every other Thursday throughout the summer of 2025.
Market organizer Jen Callahan said the shift is an effort to create a stronger draw on the nights the market is held, while also easing the load on both vendors and shoppers during the busy summer months.
Im not sure this is the perfect solution either, Callahan admitted, but were hoping it allows more people to plan ahead and makes each market feel a bit more special.
The season kicks off Thursday, June 26, and will wrap up on September 20 with the annual Fall Harvest Festival.
Last summer, the market temporarily moved to the area around the Moody County Historical Society complex and the nearby city bandshell in an effort to bring more foot traffic to the museum. While the effort was appreciated and added a nice backdrop to the event, organizers said the downtown location likely offers more visibility and better access for passersby.
