One of the early changes that will be made necessary by the downtown mall contruction- will be the annual Easter event and the Farmers Market. Downtown Development Commission executive director Melinda Kelleher says that after decades downtown on Baltimore Street, the Thursday market is preparing for relocation to Canal Place with an opening on April 27 from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m…

The new location is situated along the Canal Place stage accessible via the Howard Street entrance to Canal Place. The new venue offers easier access to parking and restroom facilities. As far as other downtown events, Kelleher says most of those will be relocating to Canal Place as well…

Kelleher said the city will most likely not hold Friday After Five events at Canal Place and will instead find locations around the mall to continue the events this summer.
