Statehouse Market Week 16: The post-Labor Day homestretch begins!

posted by SPD Communications on August 31, 2018 Statehouse Market Week 16

Labor Day weekend is traditionally seen as the unofficial end of summer.

Gone are the barbecues and pool parties, and in their place Hoosiers ready for sweatshirt weather, football and pumpkin spice-flavored everything.

Well, according to our calendars, there are five — count ’em — FIVE Statehouse Markets remaining in 2018. And since the farmer’s market on Robert D. Orr Plaza is pretty much synonymous with the warm rays of summer in Indy, we think there’s still plenty of fun in the sun left this year.

We’re so confident, in fact, that we might even (gasp!) wear white clothing after Labor Day!

Yes, it’s a potential fashion faux pas, but that’s just how daring we can be — at least when it comes to choosing pants in September.

And why not?

After all, that’s the sort of trend-bucking, devil-may-care Hoosier spirit you’ll see each Thursday at the market as some of the area’s top farmers, artisans, entrepreneurs and mobile restaurant maestros gather for an event the smells of which alone simply scream “summer.”

So keep the shades handy and the warm weather wardrobe at the ready. Summer’s far from over, and we hope you’ll enjoy these last few Market Days with us – rain or shine, summer weather or fall-like chilly temperatures.

As always, we’ll meet you for lunch on the plaza between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

We’ll see you Thursday! Until then, keep looking on the sunny side of life and check out the Sept. 6 lineup below.

Lucky Market #13!

posted by SPD Communications on August 13, 2018 Statehouse Market Week 13

Many people believe the number 13 is one that is especially unlucky.

We, on the other hand, are not at all superstitious; as a matter of fact, we tend to think that good fortune and the Statehouse Market go hand-in-hand.

How else can you describe the circumstances that brought some of the Hoosier State’s freshest produce together with (deep breath) homemade granola and baked goods, quality dairy products, carefully crafted cold brew coffee, gold standard popcorn, top-of-the-line gluten free snacks, fresh-from-the-hive honey (and tons of products made from it) vegan nachos with all the best toppings, crab cakes and elk burgers (from the same truck!), baked-to-perfection brick oven pizza, donuts to die for, mouthwatering barbecued everything, grilled chicken quesadillas and real fruit smoothies (again, from the same truck!), arepa and other amazing sandwiches and meals straight from Venezuela, home-style Chinese food, pretzel sandwiches with delightful “twists,” a couple dozen flavors of healthy frozen pops, and burgers, fish, fries and more that will take you back to the days of drive-ins and sock hops?

Phew!

That sounds like some (extremely tasty) serendipitous happenstance to us!

And when you stop to think about it, visitors to Robert D. Orr Plaza each Thursday truly are lucky as they’ll have the opportunity to try out an enormously varied selection of food and artisan goods like these — and many others — each and every week throughout the summer.

Come out between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 16 for a look at Week 13’s best eats and treats. Check out the list below for details on this week’s vendors and food trucks.

With a baker’s dozen markets “in the books” in 2018, we can’t wait to see what the future holds for this season.

We’re crossing our fingers and hoping you’ll join us each Thursday through Oct. 4.

Week 10 is here!

posted by SPD Communications on July 23, 2018 Statehouse Market Week 10

Is there anything more summer-like than a farmers market?

Corn, cucumbers, squash and potatoes share table space with blueberries, peaches, and other freshly-picked fruit spread out under sunny blue skies.

Artisan goods crafted from honey and healthy (and delicious!) salad dressing fashioned from only the best ingredients join one-of-a-kind popcorn, baked goods tailored to fit almost any diet and some of the finest coffee ever brewed.

Oh, and a fleet of the Indy area’s best-loved food trucks have lunch covered with sandwiches, pizza and so much more!

The sights, the sounds and especially the smells practically scream summer!

So make plans to meet us on Robert D. Orr Plaza for Week 10 of the Statehouse Market. We’ll be there from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Thursday, July 26 — and every Thursday — for the rest of the season.
