Franklin Street Bazaar Kicks Off Summer Fun

School is out, and summer break is officially here – and a summertime Saturday in Evansville just wouldn’t be the same without a visit to the Franklin Street Bazaar. The 2026 season begins this weekend (5/30), and will once again provide shopping, live music, and a spirit of community that I’m not sure you will find anywhere else in Evansville!

What Visitors Can Expect Each Saturday

The Bazaar is held on the lawn of the Franklin Street Library every Saturday from 9 AM to 2 PM. Each week starts with a FREE yoga lesson at 9am, followed by a talented local musician at 10am. Folks can also visit from a wide variety of local artisans, crafters, and growers – offering fresh produce, handmade crafts, one-of-a-kind gifts, and more. And yes, the food trucks will be back too!
