Market Science Is Back!

This summer at the Minneapolis Midtown Farmer's Market

Market Science

Market Science, the collective of scientists from the University of Minnesota, are back in 2016, sharing science through hands-on learning activities for kids, answering scientific questions for market goers, and facilitating dialogue between researchers and their communities. Explore the summer schedule below and be sure to visit Market Science on Saturdays this summer.

The Midtown Farmers Market is located at the intersection of East Lake Street and Hiawatha Avenue, on the eastern half of 2225 E. Lake Street, between the Minneapolis Public Education’s Adult Basic Educations Building and the Hiawatha Line Lake Street/Midtown light rail station.
