On Broadway Cancels July 1 Farmers Market Over Severe Weather Risk

3 articles · Updated · WBAY · Jul 1

Summary

  • Green Bay’s Farmers Market on Broadway was canceled for July 1 after On Broadway said severe weather risk during market hours made it unsafe to proceed.
  • Forecasts called for damaging winds and hail, prompting the organizer to notify scheduled vendors directly and scrap the event despite earlier preparations for heat and high humidity.
  • The cancellation follows criticism of last week’s market, which went ahead despite storm forecasts and saw some vendor tents and products damaged.
  • On Broadway said weather-related absences for the 2026 season will not count against attendance rules, and vendors who skip events because of extreme heat or severe weather will not be penalized.
