EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — El Paso’s Art and Farmers Market will be going through a major change including moving locations, the City of El Paso announced Friday, March 8.
Beginning Saturday, March 16, the market will move from Union Plaza in Downtown to the Cohen area in Northeast El Paso.
“The move and rebranding creates a new energy for market vendors and visitors,” said Museums and Cultural Affairs Managing Director Ben Fyffe. “While the Market will move to Cohen, we will continue to program pop-ups and return Downtown for our major festivals including WinterFest.”
After an 18-month planning process, the move to Cohen was made possible through a federal grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), according to the news release sent out by the City.
“The Cohen location better addresses the need for fresh, local produce, supports the vision of developing the Cohen area and connects with military families at Fort Bliss,” according to the City’s announcement.
In addition, the market has undergone a new rebrand that includes a new logo, revamped webpage as well as an updated Instagram and Facebook page, the City said. The logo has bright colors and new fonts that best represent local products and vendors.
The Market will be next to the Camp Cohen Waterpark and will be open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., every Saturday.
The City’s Art and Farmers Market was established in 2011.
