The Market will take place at Ketchum’s Forest Service Park. It is a quiet location with stunning views and Engelmann spruce trees that were planted in 1934 by the Civilian Conservation Corps when the site was a U.S. Forest Service compound. The property was acquired by the city of Ketchum through a citizen-driven effort. The park is frequented by locals on their lunch breaks and dog walks, home to the Ketchum Farmer’s Market, Ketch'em Alive summer concert series, as well as private events.
