Wheaton s French market will open its new season Saturday, but not in its usual spot.
The open-air market is temporarily relocating to Reber Street near the Courthouse Square apartment complex to accommodate construction during the last stage of a downtown streetscape project. That location is just east of its traditional venue in a municipal parking lot.
The market will be open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. each Saturday through late November.
