A once blazing hot, parking lot – is now a cool hangout for concerts and the Farmers Market.

Salina Downtown Executive Director Leslie Bishop tells Ad Astra News the City Lights Pavilion project is completed and the downtown Farm and Art Market will open up again in the reimagined space this Saturday, August 22nd.

From the fresh pavement underfoot to the sturdy steel frame and fans above, Salinans will have a new place to gather for events on the weekends and covered parking during the week.

Hutton Construction led the build on the $1.4 million project located at the corner of Ash Street and Sante Fe.

These markets have expanded across the state from 26 locations in 1987 to over 116 today, serving as vital economic drivers that connect local farmers directly with consumers and keep dollars within Kansas communities.
