SUMMARY:Nokomis Farmers Market | 5167 Chicago Ave - Minneapolis
DESCRIPTION:In 2012\, Neighborhood Roots was approached by the Hale-Page-Diamond Lake Neighborhood Association about their desire to start a new neighborhood farmers market. After careful consideration\, the decision was made to launch three pilot markets during the summer of 2014.  Nokomis Farmers Market took place mid-week on Wednesday evenings –  the perfect opportunity to catch up on shopping and spend a quality summer afternoon with friends and neighbors! The enthusiasm of the neighborhood in 2014 lead to the launch of a once weekly Wednesday afternoon market in 2015.  The 2026 season marks the eleventh full-season for Nokomis. Sixteen weeks of local food\, music and fun!
