We'll start with the Disclaimer - Yes, we do provide media coverage for the Kitchener Market, but this just means we're able to offer you a chance to win too! Enter the contest at the end of this post

When I wrote about the Thai Cooking Class at Kitchener Market on March 11^th, I had not idea that would be the last time I would see the market in months.  Due to the Covid-19 Coronavirus and the Emergency Shut Down, the Kitchener Market was closed.  Now that three months have passed and things are beginning to open, it was announced earlier this week that the Kitchener Market plans to open the Farmers’ Market on June 13^th.

What You Need to Know about the Kitchener Market Re-Opening

According to the City of Kitchener Media Release the Kitchener Market will open at 7am on June 13, 2020 with new safety precautions in places.

Here is what you need to know:

• Only the Farmers’ Market portion of the Kitchener Market will be open
• There will be limited vendors on the first day
• The number of people allowed in the building at a time will be monitored
• Many vendors will have items pre-bagged
• Contactless payment is preferred, for those still wanting to pay cash you will be expected to have the exact amount per purchase
• The Food Hall, Upper Market Vendors, Kids Events and Cooking Classes will not be opening/happening at this time

While I know many of you are missing the events that take place at the Kitchener Market, they have taken them online.  We really missed hosting our Food Revolution KW Day, but we are glad that Chef Nicole and Chef Rob are still here to help us virtually!
