What a great season for the Greendale Downtown Market!

Thank you to everyone who helped make the 2026 season such a success.

Our 2026 season in numbers!

As we wrap up the 35th season of the Greendale Downtown Market, we’ve been looking back on all the Saturday mornings, familiar faces, new connections, and incredible community support that made this season so special. And we just had to share a few numbers that tell part of the story!

Behind every number is a community that continues to show up, support local businesses, and make the market a place to connect, shop, and spend time together. We can’t wait to do it all again!

The event is a special way to remember Roy Reiman and the joy he found in growing and sharing his zinnias. Thank you to everyone who helped make this beautiful tribute possible!
