invites you to celebrate with us
MAY 1, 2026 - OPENING DAY of the
Grand River Farmers Market
at the downtown pavilion 
9:00 - 2:00

We’ve missed you! 
Come on down and reconnect… We’ve got dozens of your favorite vendors ready to go with seasonal fruits & veggies, flowers, beef, chicken, eggs, pork, cheeses, honey, syrup, pasta, dairy, artisan breads, mushrooms, granola, microgreens, tea, jams, pestos, sweets, coffee, soups, ready-to-eat hot foods, sandwiches, snacks, natural home, plants, health and beauty products, even pet treats - plus a few true artisans for a little retail therapy!

The Jackson District Library returns - they’ll be with us each Friday, so bring your library card, and if you don’t have one - they can get you one! 

10:00 - 1:00, The Velascos, featuring Lanni, make their musical debut - Lanni is a confident, full‑voiced performer whose influences are shaped by the soul of Amy Winehouse, the power of Adele, and the timeless storytelling of The Beatles and Bob Dylan - a great way to start the season!

Cookin’ with Beans will be bringing the breakfast burritos and tacos for lunch - a small truck with huge flavor! And a NEW item to the market - Pour Decisions is back - with highly requested Dirty Sodas! Try them out or treat yourself to one of the many other mocktails available while you sip and shop!

We can’t wait to be back - hope to see you downtown Friday, May 1!
