Uptown Farmers Market

11:38 AM CDT on June 1, 2025

Neighbors in the Uptown area have come together to reimagine and take action in the revitalization of Uptown.

Led by long-time East Isles resident Dan Sutton, volunteers with wheelbarrows and power tools in hand cleared the empty lot on Lake Street behind Seven corners.

They removed trash, including drug paraphernalia to construct a stage for live music and space for vendors and food trucks.

The new Uptown Farmers Market will open Thursday, June 12 and run through the summer on Thursday from 4-8 p.m. (Images: Courtney Cushing Kiernat)
