If you’re looking for the Overland Park Farmers Market this year, it’s moving back to its usual spot. The market’s 85 vendors will set up shop for the Saturday market April 16 at 7950 Marty St. to start the market’s 40th season. It still won’t be the shoulder-to-shoulder crowded experience many remember from years past. Although the market will operate under its pavilion, it won’t be limited to that space. To encourage better social distancing, the market is “expanding its footprint,” said Kristina Stanley, recreation supervisor for the city’s parks and recreation department. The old pavilion set-up used about 22,000 square feet. This year’s will be roughly 70,000 square feet, which will include parking lots north and south of the pavilion, as well as parts of Marty Street that will be closed to traffic during market hours.
