ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL — As spring begins to settle in, area residents will again have access to fresh produce, artisan cheeses, homemade pastries, and homemade crafts when the Arlington Heights farmers market opens for the season.

The market will be open to the public for the first time on Saturday, May 15, in the commuter parking lot located across the street from the Arlington Heights Historical Museum on Vale Avenue and Fremont Street.

The market will be open from 8 a.m.-12:30 p.m. on May 15, officials announced recently. The market will open but visitors are expected to follow guidelines set in place by state and local health officials as the coronavirus pandemic continues.
