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.

Happy, happy birthday, Statehouse Market!

posted by SPD Communications on July 9, 2018 market blog week 8

You only turn 6 once, and the Statehouse Market is celebrating its birthday with the amazing state employees, specialty vendors and food trucks that have helped make it such a fun success since 2012.

The Week 8 lineup certainly guarantees a “bon anniversaire” all its own, but our biggest birthday wish is that you’ll join us in celebrating from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Thursday, July 12, on Robert D. Orr Plaza.

We’ll bring the food!

And to answer one very important question: Yes, there will be cake — cupcakes to be exact, thanks to the one and only Flying Cupcake.

In case you weren’t aware, delicious confections are kind of their “thing,” and to help us celebrate, they’ve produced pastries bearing the Statehouse Market logo! They’re chocolate AND vanilla because, really, you can’t have one without the other. Also, it’s our birthday, so we’re entitled to be just a little extra.

The tasty treats will be in short supply, so get them while they last!

Come help us blow out the proverbial candles by shopping for fresh, Hoosier-grown produce, and indulging in some of the very best street food the Indianapolis area has to offer.

We can’t think of a better way to celebrate our birthday — this year or any other. The only thing missing is you, so make plans to meet us for lunch this Thursday!

And while you’re here, scope out some of the photos from our 2012 debut below.

Statehouse Market returns in new location on May 28

posted by SPD Communications on April 30, 2015 Apples from Bryant Farm

The State Personnel Department is happy to announce the Opening Day of the 2015 Statehouse Market as Thursday, May 28. Local farmers and produce vendors join some of Indy’s top food trucks as we start the fourth season of the market. The market spans 19 weeks this season from May 28 until October 1.

We’re two days away from Opening Day of the Statehouse Market. Listed below are the vendors you can expect to see week one.

This season our location is slightly changed as we’re no longer between the North and South buildings on Robert Orr Plaza. The food trucks and a few produce vendors are lining up on both sides of the south section of Senate Avenue, which is closed on market Thursdays. The majority of our produce vendors are setting up along the Washington Street sidewalk near the south lawn of the Statehouse. So if you’re still following, the market forms an “L” shape around the Statehouse’s south lawn.

Through traffic remains open on Robert Orr Plaza during the market but all cars must go north to Ohio Street. Next week we’ll have some more information about what some of the vendors are bringing Opening Day.
