Two farmers markets are returning to Mt. Lebanon this year, offering residents a seasonal lineup of fresh food, handmade goods and local entertainment.

The Mt. Lebanon Uptown Market kicks off Saturday, May 31, and runs weekly from 9 a.m. to noon through October 11 in the Uptown Business District on Washington Road. The market features a core group of vendors with a rotating selection offering produce, meats, cheeses, art, jewelry, apparel, home goods and more.

New this year is Curbside Concerts, a live music program presented in collaboration with the Municipality of Mt. Lebanon, featuring street performers throughout the season.

The Mt. Lebanon Lions Farmers Market begins on Wednesday, June 4, operating every Wednesday from 4 to 7 p.m., rain or shine, through the end of October at Mt. Lebanon United Lutheran Church, 975 Washington Road.

Dedicated to supporting small farms and local businesses, the Lions Market offers fresh produce, baked goods and artisanal items, along with live entertainment and special events. Organizers encourage visitors to stop by after work or school to enjoy the day’s harvest.
