Dublin Market returns with St. Pat’s

Spring is coming—and St. Patrick’s Day Festivities are just around the corner. The first Dublin Market will be part of Dublin’s St. Patrick’s Day events, March 12. The 2022 schedule of Dublin Market Days can be found on the Dublin Market Days Facebook page, and will soon be posted around town. We will continue at Wright Park, third Saturdays— except when we join city events. Emails have gone out to vendors who have been part of the market in past years. We welcome new vendors. In particular, we’d like to encourage nonprofit fund raisers. Drinks and snack offerings will be well received. Contact Dublin Market Days at dublinmarketdays@gmail.com or via Facebook message. We look forward to a new season of local produce, goods, and crafts at Dublin Market Days, starting March 12, 9 a.m.-1 p.m., Wright Park.
