October 3 is Paint A Pumpkin Day at the MSPIB Farmers Market, featuring pumpkins and gourds for children to paint free of charge. This Special Event is sponsored by our Scioto County Commissioners.
Paint A Pumpkin Day is an America 250 Celebration event complementing Ohio's theme for October, "Ohio Grows: Food & Farms."
During the season, the Farmers Market is open from 9am to 1pm every Saturday on The Roy Rogers Esplanade. The Esplanade is located on the northeast corner of Chillicothe Street and Gallia Street in Downtown Portsmouth, Ohio.
The Main Street Portsmouth In Bloom [MSPIB] Farmers Market was founded by the DeAtley Family. Laurel, Craig, and Heather DeAtley recognized the need to provide a Downtown space for the region's Farms and Cottage Industry to share produce and wares with The Community.
​In addition to booths, the MSPIB Farmers Market also features events, including agriculture education, art activities, and musical performances. A number of area institutions attend the Farmers Market to provide information on events and services, especially those catering to youth and seniors.
The MSPIB Farmers Market follows Ohio Cottage Industry Rules. All of our Vendor Spaces are reserved for the season.
