Next Market: May 23, 2019
3 pm to 7 pm

American Can Company

3700 Orleans Ave. at the Bayou

As many of you will remember, in 2002, local farmers, fishermen and food artisans gathered in the parking lot of the American Can Co. for the first time to sell their products to crowds of hungry New Orleanians. The market, run by the Crescent City Farmers Market, became a popular community meeting place, as well as a bustling center of commerce. When the CCFM regrouped after Hurricane Katrina, one of the casualties was this much-loved Thursday evening market.

In the spring of 2008, thanks to Cork & Bottle proprietor Jon Smith’s steadfast commitment to his community and the dedication of a core group of market vendors, the Mid-City Green Market opened in the same space. Now, the market has returned to the CCFM family with the hope that this will ensure its future growth and development for residents and neighbors in Mid-City.

The Thursday Market runs year-round from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Orleans Avenue and Bayou St. John, in the parking lot of the American Can Co..
