The path from Riverfront Park’s fountain and the Winter’s Farmers Market at the Pavilion was bustling Wednesday evening.
The Pavilion glittered in a holiday light show as surround-sound speakers played Burl Ives’ “Have a Holly Jolly Christmas.” A toddler in her pink coat looked up in awe as a couple with a dog milled through the outdoor market and prepared for the wait to get to the indoor portion of the event.
Over 1,800 people moseyed through the park, said Amy Lindsey, the park’s programming and marketing manager. That number was up from about 600 shoppers at last week’s market launch. The new market will run every Wednesday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. through Jan. 27.
