Oak Lawn Farmers Market Opens Today, June 4

Dumke Drive and 52nd Avenue is the place to be every Wednesday morning throughout the summer when the Oak Lawn Farmers Market officially opens today (June 4).

The Oak Lawn Farmers Market runs from from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Wednesday through Oct. 16. (The Farmers Market is closed Sept. 4 for Fall on the Green preparation.)

The farmer's market is located at 52nd Avenue and Dumke Drive, behind the Oak Lawn Library (9427 S. Raymond Ave.).

The village has lined up 40 great vendors when you can pick out fresh fruits and vegetables, flowers and plants, breads and mustards, find unique gifts, get a rain barrel and visit with Oak Lawn businesses. Let us know in the comments if we missed a vendor.
