The Codman Square Farmer’s Market welcomed multiple farm stands, a cooking demonstration, and a group of aerialists who performed in Rev. Loesch/Wainwright Park on Saturday morning and afternoon as part of a program sponsored by the organization Dorchester Speak for the Trees.
The Farmer’s Market features vendors selling fresh fruits and vegetables, fish and meats, and bakery items – among many other specialty items. It will be located at the city-owned park on Wainwright Street on Saturdays through Oct. 18. Next year, organizers anticipate moving it back to the newly renovated Codman Park on Washington Street.
Last Saturday, the New England Black Circus wowed marketgoers with its aerial act and feats of strength. Co-founders Nicole Gilmore and Amara Barry performed alongside Aunjoli Das, and said they were very excited to perform in the neighborhood.
Speak for the Trees and the Friends of Rev. Loesch Park also celebrated the partnership that brought them a piece of public art as part of a summer-long public art program. The tree-focused artwork came from New York and Boston-based artist Ekene Ijeoma and will remain on site until Oct. 31.
