With over 150 vendors, the blended market offers everything from produce, baked goods, artisans, live music and more.
“The Sidney Street Market has been going since 1999, and we are just so excited to celebrate our 20th year,” said market coordinator Laurie McDermid. “Because it’s D-Day we also asked some veterans to come as well [and] our Sidney Seagull, our mayor and council, we’re just all celebrating together because we made it happen together.”
McDermid said the market has grown with time.
“It certainly brings lots of people to the other. We have followers from all those years who can’t wait to come.”
The Sidney Street Market runs every Thursday from 5:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m. until Aug. 29.
