    • With sponsorship assistance from National City Bank, local growers, bakers, culinary specialists, and artisans fill this charming historic freight house. Reminiscent of European markets, it’s alive with vendors, people and activity during market hours.

      Learn more about the market by watching a recent video interview with local talk show host Bette Rogge as she talks with Jimmy Harless, Manager of MetroPark's National City 2nd Street Market. This video was produced by DATV.

    • The market began as an extension of the Wegerzyn Outdoor Farmers Market, which moved to the Cannery building on Wayne Avenue to provide an indoor setting and to extend their season in the late 1990’s.

      In November 2001, the market moved to its present location at Second and Webster streets, in a former Baltimore and Ohio freight warehouse built in 1911.
