Four Sisters Farmers Market Announces Opening Day June 6th

Four Sisters Farmers Market, a project of the Native American Community
Development Institute (NACDI), is celebrating its 10th year in operation with its opening day at their
flagship location on the American Indian Cultural Corridor, located at 1414 E. Franklin Avenue,
Minneapolis MN 55404. Opening day will include a celebratory raffle with music provided by
James Harvin, a local Afro-Indigenous (Nahua) artist from Harlem, New York, at Noon. The day

truck, Frybread Factory.
“We are very excited for this season,” states Market Manager, Destiny Jones. “Everything from
our programming to our location is made with the community in mind. We hope to continue our
tradition of sharing and celebrating Indigenous culture while greeting both new and familiar
faces.”
