MAIN STREET MARKET NEARS FALL REOPENING
Downtown Baton Rouge’s Main Street Market is set to reopen this fall following an extensive overhaul aimed at improving its flow, function, and connection to the local food community. The renovated space will feature a new coffee shop highlighting seasonal produce and artisan goods from area farmers and food producers. The updates reflect the organization’s mission of linking residents with local food and farmers while ensuring a safer, more sustainable facility. Though the market remains closed, visitors can access bathrooms and water stations during Saturday Red Stick Farmers Markets. ■ breada.org
