The West Liberty Business Association is thrilled for the Summer Street Market on Saturday, June 28th.
In response to growing demand and space limitations at the previous venue, this year, the market will be relocated to the expansive Lion’s Park, located just outside the Village of West Liberty.
The address is 576 Township Rd 174, West Liberty, OH 43357.
This new location offers a large, grassy area on the park’s south side, with convenient access to State Route 245.
