When Friends of Madison Park formed in May 2023, we asked the community what the neighborhood would like to see happen- from events to projects to public safety. Always at the top was the possibility of a Farmer’s Market. Our committee has been exploring that possibility this past year, surveying the community and talking to our local businesses and the different Farmer’s Market organizations.
Representatives from the Seattle Farmers Market Association spoke at our meeting that it has approved a plan to open a seasonal farmers market in Madison Park, beginning on Thursday afternoons in June 2025! This would bring farm-fresh goods within an easy walk or drive of Madison Park (over 50% of attendees at other local markets walk).
The nearby businesses surveyed are excited about the additional foot traffic from the market, and the plan has gotten great feedback overall.
MUSIC IN THE PARK RETURNED TO GREAT SUCCESS
Our Music in the Park series kicked off on Aug. 1, and over the course of the month, we’ve hosted live music across different genres for friends and families to picnic and soak up our long summer nights at Madison Park.
From funk to classic rock, the neighborhood turned out to soak up the long days of late summer!
