2010 Urban Marketplace - A Global Array of Goods

Wednesdays, July 14 - September 29 in 2010, the St. Cloud Downtown Council hosted an Urban Marketplace where one would find a global array of goods. From lemongrass to lemonade and heirloom tomatoes to habenero peppers, Urban Marketplace will be the space where community and cultures come together to celebrate, dine and unwind. Shop for locally grown produce and artisan wares, gluten free baked goods, organic and green products, ethnic foods, healthy living demos, and salsa to symphonies performed on our main stage by local musicians. Urban Marketplace...Locally, Go Global.

We will not be hosting the Urban Marketplace again in 2011.  Rather, each Wednesday, June 8 - August 31, 5:00 - 9:00 pm, the St. Cloud Rotary will be hosting Summertime by George at Lake George.  Check it out!
