UPDATE 7/17/2021 - The indoor market has now reopened - see https://www.daytonlocal.com/shopping/2nd-street-market.asp for more details!

=========================

Five Rivers MetroParks has reopened its outdoor market, allowing the public to buy fresh, local produce, meat, dairy, spices, baked goods and more. The Market is located at 600 E. Second St. in downtown Dayton.

The Market will be open on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., rain or shine with the exception of severe weather. Shopping from 9 to 9:30 a.m. is reserved for vulnerable populations — those who have compromised immune systems and/or are age 65 and older.

Shoppers will need to plan ahead, as a number of pandemic-related precautions will be in place. The limited hours and other changes have been made to protect the health and safety of Market shoppers, vendors, staff and volunteers during the COVID-19 public health emergency.

All shoppers will be required to wear face coverings that cover their mouth and nose to protect everyone’s health and safety. Exceptions will be made only for those who cannot wear a face covering due to health conditions.

Shoppers are also asked to take these other precautions:

• Social distancing of at least six feet must be maintained at all times.
• Shoppers are asked to purchase their items and move along so that others may do the same, as well as to prepare a list to expedite shopping.
• Shoppers are encouraged to designate one person per household to visit the Market.
• Shoppers will not be encouraged to touch products.
• Dogs are not permitted other than service animals.
• Restrooms and water fountains are not available, and shoppers will not have access to the interior of the Market building.

The Market also will offer a curbside pickup on the north side of the building, adjacent to the ATM. Customers can contact vendors directly during the week to pre-order and then pick up at the curbside location. While people picking up orders will not have to leave their vehicles, they will still be required to wear face coverings upon pick up.
