“This may be the case in future weeks, as there is still a directive on crowd limits from the Monroe County Health Department,” he added. “We appreciate your patience as we work to make the Market a safe and enjoyable experience.

“We look forward to once again having live music on-site, and seating will be made available to shoppers who wish to sit and enjoy a delicious purchase from our food and beverage artisans,” Boone added.
