The New Rochelle Farmers Market will be returning to Downtown New Rochelle in a brand new location and on a new day. Beginning on June 25th, the New Rochelle Downtown Farmers Market will be held on Sundays from 9:00 am – 2:00 pm through October 29th, at the City’s just-opened and renovated Anderson Plaza (between North Avenue and Le Count Place). The New Rochelle Farmers Market in Downtown will be managed by Events To Remember, an award-winning event management and public relations firm with successful market management experience, along with the New Rochelle Downtown Business Improvement District (NRBID). 

““We are excited to bring the Farmer’s Market to the beautifully renovated Anderson Plaza and look forward to welcoming residents and vendors alike to Downtown’s newest community gathering spot,” said Marc Jerome, Chairman of the New Rochelle Downtown Business Improvement District (NRBID) and President of nearby Monroe College.

 “Anderson Plaza was host to New Rochelle’s Downtown Farmer’s Market for many years, so it is truly gratifying to welcome ‘back’ this new market to our beautiful new plaza. We look forward to the vibrancy this activation will bring to summer weekends,” said Kathleen Gill, City Manager, New Rochelle.

“Everyone has been asking when the long-time New Rochelle Farmers Market will be back here in Downtown–and we are happy to say “NOW!” said Karel Littman, Executive Director of the New Rochelle Downtown Business Improvement District (NRBID). “This new location is easy to reach and has easy parking so we know people will enjoy coming to it.”
