HERMISTON — The Maxwell Market opens for the 2021 season on Thursday, May 27, at the Maxwell Siding Event Center and Pavilion, 255 S. First Place, Hermiston.

The seasonal market, open Thursdays from 4-8 p.m. through Oct. 7, features as many as 20 vendors a week selling produce, preserves such as jams and salsas, fresh flowers, handmade soaps and jewelry. Popular vendors of prepared food offer barbecue, baked goods, cotton candy and handmade chocolates.

According to Maxwell Event Facility Manager Miranda Torres, freeze dried candy will be a new item at the market this year.

While early spring vegetables such as greens and radishes will be available at the first market, Torres said customers should look for their favorite seasonal fruits and vegetables as the summer wears on, including strawberries in June, melons in July, tomatoes in August and apples in September.

Torres said she recommends market customers keep an eye on the market’s Facebook page, Maxwell Market Hermiston Oregon, and their Instagram site, Maxwell Event Center and Pavilion, to check out the live music schedule, which will be posted soon.

“We are gearing up for our fourth year and hope everyone comes out and supports their local vendors,” Torres said.
