South Bend Farmers Market

The Colfax Street bridge opening July 25, 1911 and was the first site for the Public Market. From 1911 to 1923, farmers, small gardeners, businessmen and concessioners within a 40-mile radius of South Bend came to the Colfax bridge to sell their produce and merchandise. The market, which was open year-round, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, began at dawn and closed at 10am. By 1923, the market had grown too big for the Colfax bridge. There were often more than 100 sellers and thousands of buyers on a single day. In May of 1923, the market was relocated to South Fellows Street, near the New York Central Railroad crossing. The market remained at that site until late in 1928, when it was moved to its present location on Northside Boulevard. A fire in September of 1971 destroyed part of the market.
