You know it's a location to love when the community vibes. Look no further than the Cedar Rapids Downtown Farmers Market and Market After Dark, both produced by the Cedar Rapids Metro Economic Alliance. All summer long, the community shows up in spades to enjoy fresh local food, beverages and coffee, stroll the more than 200 market vendors, and pick out tasty ingredients (or flowers!) for later. With high marks from the community, and also national organizations like American Farmland Trust rating the Downtown Farmers Market a "best in class" farmers market, you know it's good.
