Phillipsburg, NJ – December 27, 2023 – The shorter days and colder weather of wintertime are made
brighter at the winter edition of the Phillipsburg Farmers’ Market, where customers can continue to buy their favorite fresh and local foods while supporting community vendors.
Located inside 163-165 S. Main Street, customers can stay warm while they shop or relax at tables with seating as they sample their purchases and enjoy conversation with friends. There’s also a children’s area with games and activities, plus a monthly story time by the Phillipsburg Free Public Library.
The Winter Market began the season with seven vendors, and has since grown to 14 full-time and two part-time vendors. The market returns from its holiday break on Sunday, January 7. Weekly hours are Sundays from 10 am – 1 pm, taking place “snow or shine.” Parking is available at metered spaces on the street, in nearby lots with payment kiosks, and across from Joe’s Steak Shop (free).
