The new satellite market will open this Saturday morning.
To accommodate the additional site, Bernard Avenue from Mill Street to Water Street will be closed on Saturdays from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. between July 8 and Sept. 9. There will be no parking along that block for the duration of the market each Saturday as well.
