Market at the Marina this Saturday, May 3

Terrebonne General Health System and the Houma Downtown Development Association will host Market at the Marina this Saturday, May 3, from 8 am – 12 pm (rain or shine). 

Attendees can expect 50 farmers’ market vendors offering a variety of delicious and unique foods, including seasonal fruits and vegetables, bread, jams, jellies, tea, meat and seafood, baked goods, pet treats, kettle corn, eggrolls, and more. Additionally, there will be food court vendors who will serve various hot-cooked foods. Insulated bags, perfect for holding temperature-sensitive items, will be sold for $10. 

This month’s non-profit spotlight is Children’s Water Safety Awareness. This local organization is dedicated to promoting water safety throughout our region and supporting families who have lost a loved one to drowning. Funds raised throughout the year help provide free swim lessons, life jackets, safety education, and counseling services for families affected by drowning incidents.

Marina Sprouts, sponsored by Terrebonne General Pediatric Care, will have kids’ games and physical activities this month. St. Matthew’s Episcopal School STEM Lab will have engaging activities for kids to explore and experiment. 

Market at the Marina is held on the first Saturday of every month, from 8 am-noon, at the Downtown Houma Marina, located under the Twin Span bridges and across from Terrebonne General Health System. The event is held rain or shine unless there is extreme weather. There is no cost to enter the Market.

The outdoor farmers market allows our community to experience local vendors who produce fresh and healthy food and non-food health items. Our goal is to make it easy for the community to meet and engage with these vendors and purchase healthy grocery and pantry items for themselves and their families.
