Plainfield Farmers Market, Cruise Nights to Return this Summer

Two Plainfield summertime events got the nod on Monday.

Both Cruise Nights and the Plainfield Farmers Market will return to downtown Plainfield this year.

Cruise Nights will be back thanks to the Plainfield Area Chamber of Commerce, which assumed responsibility for the event after previous organizer MainStreet Plainfield folded.

The venue for classic car enthusiasts will take place from 5 to 9 p.m. Tuesdays, June 4 to Sept. 3 along Lockport and DesPlaines streets.

Meanwhile, the Plainfield Farmers Market is set to return to the southwest corner of Lockport Street and Route 59 on Saturdays from June 1 to Sept. 28. The weekly market will be open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and will feature locally grown produce.

Organizer Susan Bostanche, owner of Sunnyside Antiques, said this year’s Plainfield vendors include Peter Rubi, Amy’s Organics and The Olive Gallery, plus local farmer Pat Lieb. Gunderson Farms of Michigan will also be there, selling berries and peaches.

Bostanche said she hopes to add more vendors along with non-profit groups, including band organizations, church groups and sports teams, to this year’s market.

The fee to rent a booth for the entire summer is $100 for vendors. Non-profits can rent space for free, Bostanche said.

To reserve a spot, contact Bostanche at 630-608-7344 or pick up an application at Sunnyside Antiques, 15028 S. Illinois St.
