Every Friday night, the Fifth Street area is energized with the Market on Fifth farmers market.
Local vendors offer items such as fresh produce, farm-fresh eggs, and artisan breads. Visitors not only delight in purchasing these items, but enjoy the live music and stroll along Fifth and Main Streets to visit the restaurants and shops in the area.
Over three years ago, Propagate Social House launched a farmers market as a test program on its own property. The event gathered community support, and the city of Apopka allowed Propagate to set up the farmers market in the parking lot by Fifth Street for an eight-month trial.
The Fifth Street Plaza is a part of the overall downtown Apopka district comprised of historical landmarks, residences and commercial properties. The city’s Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) has worked to revitalize the district in recent years.
