About the Event

Every Tuesday this summer, rain or shine, the SOAR Farmers Market returns to the MCA Plaza, kicking off two weeks earlier this year on Tuesday, May 19. Check out the colorful selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, cut and potted flowers, baked goods, cheeses, spices, and more.

Grab lunch to enjoy on the museum’s front stairs, then take home something for dinner. And if you have time, check out the MCA’s latest exhibition, Dancing the Revolution: From Dancehall to Reggaeton.

Dates are subject to change.
