Do you have flowers or fresh produce? The Manhattan Park District and Chamber of Commerce are now accepting applications for vendors for their annual Farmers Market. We are also looking for food vendors, crafters, musicians and musical entertainers. Our market carries fresh produce that is locally grown and from various areas in the Midwest. We will have various demonstrations throughout the summer as well as light entertainment. The market will be located this year at the beautiful Baker-Koren Round Barn Farm Park, which is just off of Route 52 and Baker Road, in Manhattan, Illinois. The Round Barn Farm Park is the perfect location for picnics. The park spans over several acres and is beautifully shaded. The barn was designated a Will County Historic Landmark on November 18, 1999. The market will be held on Tuesdays from 2:00 to 6:00pm starting June 2 and continuing through September 1, 2009. Seasonal and weekly spaces are still available. The market is free and open to the public.

Manhattan was incorporated in 1886. We are an old and established community. Having its roots in farming, the village has grown over the last ten years to accommodate over 6000 people. Our forebears of German and Irish heritage give expression in our early spring festival Irish Fest.
One of the real advantages of living in Manhattan is the ease with which everyone works together to make our town better and better. The town's caboose from the Norfolk and Western Railway shows the fruits of the Historical Society, Village, Township and Park Board working together to get something done. This web site is another testament to that, for through the Chamber of Commerce's efforts, we are able to give visitors a central place to learn about our area, and allow residents to find answers to their questions about what is going on in the area.
For residents and visitors alike, this web site
assembles most of what you need to know about
the Manhattan area.
