BLOOMINGTON — This Saturday, the Bloomington Farmers’ Market will be a hub of community engagement, live music, and classic summer style. Shoppers can enjoy a variety of offerings, from the historic charm of straw hats to a special appearance by the city’s police chief.
Straw hats have been around forever. By the 19th century, they weren’t just for keeping cool in the sun; they became the accessory for men of all stripes (and suspenders). Fast forward to today, and you’ll still spot them at the Market. So if you’re looking for shade and swagger, the straw hat has you covered.
Bluegrass on the Circular Stage
Music lovers can tap their feet to the sounds of the Limestone Nomad Trio, joined by special guest Justice Fuller.
The group will perform two sets on the Circular Stage at 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. The trio, known for its blend of folk and modern bluegrass sounds, promises a lively start to the weekend.
Mayor’s Team at the Table with Chief Michael Diekhoff
As part of the ongoing “Mayor’s Team at the Table” initiative, residents have the chance to interact directly with city officials.
This week, Michael Diekhoff, the Chief of the Bloomington Police Department, will be at the market to answer questions and discuss community issues. He will be available from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. The program offers a low-pressure environment for residents to engage with local government leaders.
