A weekday version of the Bloomington Community Farmers' Market is set to open its 2018 season from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., Tuesday, June 5, at Sixth and Madison Streets, one block south of City Hall. The Tuesday Market occurs each week until the end of September, and admission is free.
Each week’s Tuesday Market features live entertainment by Bloomington-area musicians from 5–6:30 p.m. The scheduled performer for June 5 is Entwyned, which will be playing folk music.
Fresh produce and products that should be available include: Beets, green beans, arugula, asparagus, cabbage, chard, green onions, lettuce, radishes, salad mix, spinach, strawberries, eggs, flower bouquets, bedding plants and more.

The Tuesday Market also allows people to use food stamps to buy double the dollar amount in "Market Bucks." For example, $3 in food stamps equates to $6 in Market Bucks, which can be used to buy food-stamp-eligible products.
