CEDAR RAPIDS – Market-goers who fondly recall the Riverside Roundhouse will soon be able to attend farmers markets in Czech Village.
With less than two weeks remaining, the Czech Village Association is still accepting applications for vendors. Spots remain available for produce vendors, with a few spaces for crafts.

The farmers markets will be outdoors at Sokol Park, right along the Cedar River at 16th Avenue and A Street SW.
Proceeds from the vendor fees will go toward rebuilding the roundhouse, which was dismantled after the 2008 flood and has since been in storage.
The markets will be on Saturdays when there is no Downtown Farmers Market scheduled, on June 13 and 27, July 11 and 25 and August 8 and 22, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
