FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Glens Falls Farmers’ Market Moves to Maple Street for Summer 2025 Season

UPDATE (April 9, 2025): A previous version of this press release included information about public restroom access at the Queensbury Hotel and Crandall Public Library. That information has been removed due to a miscommunication. Public restroom access for the outdoor market is still being finalized. We appreciate your understanding and will share updates as soon as possible.

GLENS FALLS, NY (March 31, 2025) — The Glens Falls Farmers’ Market Association announces that the Market will relocate to Maple Street in downtown Glens Falls for the Summer 2025 season, starting Saturday, May 3. This temporary move is due to ongoing construction on South Street, including the highly anticipated Market Center and adjacent development projects that currently limit accessibility and public safety.

The new market location will occupy the block of Maple Street in front of the Queensbury Hotel and the former TD Bank building, directly across from City Park and the Crandall Public Library. This central location was selected to ensure minimal disruption for patrons while offering high visibility and ease of access. Maple Street will be closed to vehicle traffic from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. every Saturday to accommodate market operations.

The South Street redevelopment—funded in part by New York State’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI)—is transforming the area into a vibrant hub of year-round commerce and community events. The Market Center, a cornerstone of this effort, is projected to become the permanent, four-season home of the Glens Falls Farmers’ Market. Until the surrounding construction and infrastructure improvements are completed and fully accessible, the Market will operate at its alternate downtown location.

The Market Center ribbon cutting is scheduled for May 16, but the facility will remain closed to large public events until pedestrian safety, parking access, and vendor logistics are addressed. The City of Glens Falls, in coordination with the Market Association, will continue to monitor conditions and determine the appropriate timing for the eventual transition.

In the interim, the Maple Street location will provide a festive and pedestrian-friendly environment for shoppers and vendors alike. Patrons can expect the same wide variety of offerings, including fresh produce, meat, eggs, baked goods, maple products, cheese, specialty foods, and artisan crafts. More than 40 vendors are expected to participate throughout the season, including a mix of returning favorites and outdoor-season-only vendors. A special rotating booth will feature a different local business each week, and the expanded street layout will allow for live music, food vendors, and other community-focused amenities.

On select Saturdays when City Park hosts major events—such as the LARAC Festival or the Zonta Craft Show—the Market will temporarily shift to the adjacent TD Bank lot to allow shared use of downtown public space. These changes have been coordinated with City Hall, the Business Improvement District, and other stakeholders to ensure seamless experiences for visitors.

The Glens Falls Farmers’ Market Association remains committed to supporting the local agricultural economy while creating a welcoming space for residents and tourists. The temporary move to Maple Street is a proactive step in maintaining operations during a period of growth and revitalization. The Association extends its thanks to the City of Glens Falls, downtown businesses, and all market patrons for their continued support.
