New Broad Street Market structure opening date set
HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) — Ten months after a fire tore through Broad Street Market’s brick building in Harrisburg, members of the public will be able to shop from the market’s displaced vendors again.
The Broad Street Market Alliance announced Wednesday that it plans to open the new, temporary structure across from the stone building to the public for a soft launch on Thursday, May 23.
“Following last year’s tragic fire, the Broad Street Market’s customers, vendors, and supporters have understandably been waiting a long time for this day. But Harrisburg is a resilient town and the community has stepped up to finally make this day a reality,” Eric Hagarty, Chair of the Market said. “When the public has the chance to see the new space on May 23, we think it will be apparent that, despite the exterior, it is so much more than a tent – it’s a wonderful, vibrant place to get the produce, meats, and treats we’ve been missing for months. And it’s the first step on the Market’s road to lasting recovery.”
