About The Park

Local growers, bakers, culinary specialists, and artisans fill this charming historic freight house. Reminiscent of European markets, it’s alive with vendors, people and activity during market hours.

Learn more about the market by watching a video interview with local talk show host Bette Rogge as she talks with Jimmy Harless, Manager of MetroPark's 2nd Street Market. This video was produced by DATV.

History

The market began as an extension of the Wegerzyn Outdoor Farmers Market, which moved to the Cannery building on Wayne Avenue to provide an indoor setting and to extend their season in the late 1990’s.

In November 2001, the market moved to its present location at Second and Webster streets, in a former Baltimore and Ohio freight warehouse built in 1911.

Accessibility

The building has 3 ramps, with parking spaces by both ramps on 2nd Street. Accessible restrooms are available inside the building..

Conservation

The 2nd Street Market operates in an historic block-long former 1911 B&O railroad building. It was saved from demolition and renovated in 2001 in partnership with National City Bank, now PNC Bank.

Five Rivers MetroParks is proud to help support growing and buying locally produced goods. The 2nd Street Market strives to promote sustainable, local food systems in order to shrink the ecological footprint of Montgomery County.
