The Riviera Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) will introduce a weekly, year-round Green & Artisan Market at the fast-developing Riviera Beach Marina Village. The Green & Artisan Market will be managed by Harry Welsh (harrysmarkets.webstarts.com), who has been running a similar year-round event on Sundays at Jupiter’s Riverwalk Events Plaza. The Riviera Beach Marina Village Green & Artisan Market will be open on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. beginning July 9th. It will feature approximately 20+ vendors offering seasonally grown produce (fruits and vegetables), coffees, smoothies, specially foods, health/nutrition, and local artisan crafts, clothing and accessories.
“The new Green Market will attract regular visitors to the evolving Riviera Beach Marina Village, and serve as a preliminary way to familiarize residents and visitors with the idea that our city’s marina is being transformed, and that there will always be great reasons to visit it from this point forward,” said Tony Brown, Executive Director of the Riviera Beach CRA. “Riviera Beach Marina Village was identified by Palm Beach County as the ideal site for a free-standing, seven-day-a-week market, so launching a weekly Green Market as a bridge to the full-time market is a natural and beneficial fit.”
The first phase of Riviera Beach Marina Village was recently completed with a public investment of $35 million. Highlights include the two-story Marina Event Center and a re-imagined Bicentennial Park. Riviera Beach Marina Village is located at 190 E. 13th St. You can find out more by visiting www.rbcra.com or by calling 561-844-3408.
