ITHACA, NY (607NewsNow) – Steamboat Landing is preparing to open for its 52nd season.

After a long winter, the Ithaca Farmers Market is set to welcome guests back to the waterfront pavilion this weekend. In a Facebook post, the group previewed some of the extensive site work that’s taken place as part of a larger improvement project.

The market returns on Saturday, April 19, for regular season hours, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Sunday and East Hill markets do not open until May. The opening date and time for the Tuesday Downtown Ithaca Market has yet to be determined.
