IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - The Iowa City Farmers Market starts the first day of May and officials say they're making improvements this year.
Officials say this year they have new vendors and are closing off a block in front of City Hall to add more open-air vendors on Saturdays. The market runs from May 1 through October 30. Vendors sell local produce, baked goods and hand-crafted items. It's the 38th season for the market.
New vendors will include area wineries and artisan cheesemakers. Special events for the opening day of the market include a rain barrel exhibit, master gardeners, free blood pressure checks and facepainting.
The market is operated by the Iowa City Parks and Recreation Department.
