Themed Tuesday Farmers Markets Return to Tuscaloosa this Summer

The Tuscaloosa Farmers Market is bringing back its Tuesday markets throughout June and July, giving residents and visitors even more opportunities to grab fresh produce and handmade goods from local vendors this summer.

In addition to the weekly Farmers Market held all morning every Saturday, these Tuesday markets will run weekly from 3 to 7 p.m. at the Tuscaloosa River Market on Jack Warner Parkway.
