The Homewood Chamber of Commerce will host the second Market in May on May 21 in downtown Homewood.
This year, the introduction of a shopping card will give shoppers the opportunity to win a $500 shopping spree. Shopping cards are available now at all participating merchants listed on the Homewood Chamber website, www.homewoodchamber.com.
Local merchants will line the streets of downtown Homewood for Market in May offering special sales and events, and there will be midday entertainment. Some stores will open at 7:30 am.
In addition to the shopping event, the second Farmers Market has expanded to a new site behind City Hall off 29th Ave. The market, a partnership between the Urban Cook House and the Homewood Chamber, will continue every Saturday through the summer.
Fresh local produce will be sold from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Participating farmers were selected because of their biologically diverse produce and their excellent reputation among Birmingham restaurateurs and chefs.
