Bon Marché debuts in downtown Menlo Park drawing good turnout

The debut of the Bon Marché street market proved that something happening in downtown Menlo Park can bring out locals. It was shoulder to shoulder when we visited around 5:00 pm yesterday.

The Menlo Park City Council joined Ali El Safy in cutting the ribbon to mark the markets opening.

We applaud vendor selection from fruits and vegetables to flowers and plants. Nothing like macaroons say a pair of youngsters. And for more sweet tooth’s, there was honey.

The market will pop up every Wednesday from 4:00 to 8:00 pm.

We hope to show more scenes from the market tomorrow.
