29 MAY 2021 - DES MOINES, IOWA: The Des Moines Farmers Market full reopened this Saturday with prepared food vendors and buskers. The Des Moines Farmers Market is the largest weekly Farmers Market in Iowa. The market was largely cancelled in 2020 because of COVID-19 pandemic, but reopened in a limited way in 2021. In order to comply with Coronavirus safety guidelines, traffic is one way past the stands and people are required to wear face masks. Traditionally about 25,000 people attended the Saturday morning market, and about 40,000 people attended market on the opening day, the first Saturday in May. This year there will be about 115 vendors, 75% the normal number of vendors. As the CDC rolls back Coronavirus guidelines, the market is expanding. The market will expand Memorial Day weekend to include prepared food stands and children's activities. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
