With the weather expected to break into the 80s and the farmers market kicking off its season, Saturday might feel just like summer in Palatine.
The Palatine Farmers’ Market is among the first outdoor markets in northern Illinois opening this weekend. The Palatine market is operated by Marg Duer, who founded it 30 years ago, and the Sister Cities Association of Palatine, which joined the effort in 2015.
“Evanston opens on May 1 and we open on May 1. That’s all I know of,” Duer said.
The outdoor market takes place, as usual, in the parking lot of the Palatine Metra train station at Smith and Wood streets. It will have about 25 vendors — “there is not one inch to spare,” Duer said — and masks and social distancing will be required for the second consecutive year.
The outdoor summer market runs 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday from May to October.
