Following a charrette and strategic planning process led by Plan Baton Rouge in 1998, a public marketplace was created for the downtown Baton Rouge community. In November 2002, BREADA opened the doors of Main Street Market, a gathering place for regional farmers, local chefs, local artisans and local small businesses.
In its unique location in the Galvez Parking Garage, the Market serves as a center of commerce, a community gathering place and revitalization tool for our Central Business District. It is recognized nationally as a thriving example of a public/private partnership. Main Street Market is very proud to be supported by both the Baton Rouge Area Foundation and the State of Louisiana.
The Market operates six days a week, Monday through Saturday. Main Street Market provides a daily venue for downtown employees and visitors to Baton Rouge and also serves as the location for the Saturday Farmers Market. Activities and events include music, art, chef demonstrations, gardening events, live radio and TV shows, along with nutritional and agricultural education programs. The Market hosts study clubs, civic groups and local business groups.
