Summer Fruit

LOCATION INFORMATION

This week the Brighton Farmers’ Market will again be held at Temple B’rith Kodesh, 2131 Elmwood Ave., between S. Winton Road and S. Clinton Avenue.  The Market will remain at the new location for several weeks this summer while the Brighton High School parking lot is renovated.  There is plenty of parking in the rear of the property, behind the market; just stay to the right when you enter from Elmwood and circle around behind the market.  Please be aware that all traffic is one way; the exit is on the opposite side of the building from the entrance.  Many thanks to our friends at Temple B’rith Kodesh for their generosity in sharing their beautiful space with us.
