Downtown Louisville's New Summertime Event: Buona Sera Evening Market

Summer in Louisville Colorado brings the return of some great weekly events to downtown and Steinbaugh Pavilion, and a new event for 2013!

This year marks the tenth anniversary of the much-loved Louisville Downtown Street Faire, which is presented by the Downtown Business Association.  The Friday night Street Faire is a great way to take to the streets of downtown Louisville, mingle with friends, catch some live music, and usher in the weekend. 

Saturday mornings in downtown Louisville are just as busy, thanks to the Louisville Farmer's Market.  The Farmer's Market offers fresh, local produce from local farms, along with gourmet prepared foods, and merchandise from local vendors.  The Farmer's Market offers you the opportunity to eat what you know and know what you eat.  Meet the farmer that grew your produce or the baker that baked your pie.  You'll be supporting a local supply chain that keeps money circulating in the community and minimizes environmental damage.

In addition to these great events, Downtown Louisville has a new seasonal event in store for 2013.  The Buona Sera Evening Market will make its debut on Tuesday, June 4th at Steinbaugh Pavilion.  The market will run every Tuesday night from 4 pm to 8 pm, and offers area residents one more reason to get out and embrace Louisville's uniquely authentic historic downtown.  This is your workweek reprieve, a chance to enjoy a social outlet on a Tuesday evening.  Buona Sera Evening Market will have food carts and stands, wine vendors, musical performances, and handmade foods.

The Buona Sera Evening Market represents another addition to Louisville's vibrant summertime scene, and is proof that downtown Louisville is not just for the weekenders.
