Hartford, CT – In addition to its already popular downtown Farmers Market, Connecticut’s Old State House will begin hosting a Spring Pop-Up Market through the month of May into early June. The Market, which will only include local Connecticut farmers, will open on Friday, May 6 and take place every Friday until June 10 – just prior to the opening of the 20-week Farmers Market. The Pop-Up Market will be open to the public on the Main Street side of the building from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

The Old State House Spring Pop-Up Market is an earlier market intended to provide farmers who previously participated at the seasonal Old State House Farmers Market an opportunity to sell early spring produce, which is generally no longer in season by the time the regular market begins, potted flowering plants, and garden vegetable plants. The timing of this market also perfectly coincides with Mother’s Day – providing downtown residents and workers a chance to purchase fresh flowers before the weekend.

Located in historic downtown Hartford, Connecticut’s Old State House served as a seat of
government for the Constitution State from 1796 to 1878. The Connecticut’s Old State House Shop, located on the Main Street side of the building, provides visitors an opportunity to purchase quality-made Connecticut and Hartford themed gifts, products and apparel. Visitors can also shop online at shop.ctoldstatehouse.org.
