The Shelby County Farmers Market is returning to downtown Shelbyville.

With the completion of the downtown redevelopment project, the Farmers Market, a Saturday morning staple of downtown Shelbyville for many years, will return there in 2022.

At Tuesday morning’s Board of Works and Public Safety meeting at City Hall, the location for the Farmers Market and dates and times were approved.

The Farmers Market will run on Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. beginning May 21 and concluding Sept. 24 on the west side of the downtown square.

The construction project moved the Farmers Market from the downtown circle west down Washington St. to the lot across from the former Major Hospital.

Vendors will now line West Washington St. from the downtown square with the grass portions of the square also being available.

Early morning set up of vendor tents will be allowed along West Washington St.

Shoppers are encouraged to park in the parking garage which has street access to West Washington St. There are several other parking options within the downtown vicinity.

Two more events requested road closures from the Board of Works Tuesday.

The St. Joe Festival returns May 12-15 to the St. Joseph Catholic School lot, 127 East Broadway St.

Portions of Center St., Hendricks St. and Noble St. surrounding the school lot will be closed the evening of May 10 to allow for set up of the amusement rides and will be reopened on the morning of May 15 after clean up is completed.

Representatives of the Moose Lodge, 224 East Jackson St., requested a road closure along East Jackson St. at its location for a Community Day celebration on May 21. The road would be closed for approximately 24 hours beginning at noon on May 21.
