Make it a day at the Market! Following the events of the Shockoe Chef Showdown, the City of Richmond's 17th Street Farmers' Market is going to the birds! Flock to the Market to witness a very rare urban phenomenon as 10,000 Purple Martins roost at sunset!
A Purple Martini, anyone? Local participating restaurants will have drink & dinner specials, plus there will be FREE PURPLE ICE CREAM and on-site information available about the birds that call Shockoe Bottom their home for one month each summer.
Sponsored by: The 17th Street Farmers' Market, Shockoe Bottom Merchant's Association, City of Richmond
Special thanks to the many volunteers and bird enthusiasts, The Purple Martin Conservation Association, and Nicely Bros. Ice Cream Distribution Co.
