This year it will begin with Halloweenkend on Nov. 1 when vendors and River Market tenants and artisans will be dressed in costumes handing out treats, and maybe some tricks, too. Kids are encouraged to wear costumes, too, and since it will be inside RCFM marketing manager Melissa Maltais points out they won’t need jackets.
“Halloween is such a fun time of the year, we saw a chance to extend the fun so we took it,” said Maltais.
The winter season will have five farms with local vegetable produce. River Market will also hold an artisan market in conjunction with the winter market which will run 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. every first and third Saturday of the month from November to April 18.
