Location on the Lafitte Greenway
In the fall of 2020, the Thursday market moved to its new home in New Orleans' vibrant Mid-City neighborhood! Located at the Lafitte Greenway and Bayou St. John, it operates year-round.
Check out the responses to Lafitte Greenway's public survey regarding use of the new Lafitte Greenway Plaza - we are thrilled about the overwhelming support for a farmers market in the space!
