The market will be held every Sunday through Aug. 18 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Vendors will have fresh produce, baked goods, art, handcrafted items and more.

There will also be live entertainment, food trucks and free parking.

"We wanted to add a market to the city that gave vendors and local businesses another day to operate while not being in competition with an existing event, so Sunday seemed like the obvious choice," Lynn Family Stadium Booking Manager Richard Hendry said in a news release.

Organizers said there is room for 75 vendors and six food trucks each week. Anyone interested in participating are asked to email Hendry at rhendry@lynnfamilystadium.com.
