A new farmers market opens this weekend in Albany’s Washington Park, run by the organizer behind the new-last-year Guilderland Farmers Market.

The Washington Park Farmers Market will be held 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday from Aug. 3 through Sept. 28. Booths will be set up along the Knox Street Mall, the name of the wide path that runs north-south through the park parallel to Washington Park Road and Willett Street (see below). Market founder Scott Abraham tells me he will have about 30 vendors for the opening week, with a yoga class running from 9 to 10 a.m. before the market opens. There will also be at least two hot-food vendors each week, rotating on a biweekly basis; the first two, Abraham says, will be Caffe Italia and Syrian Delights, a catering company staffed by local residents who are refugees from Syria.

The Guilderland Farmers Market is 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday through mid-October in the shopping-plaza parking lot at the intersection of Western Avenue and Route 155.
