Revere Beach Summer Farmers Market Resumes Operations
The Revere Beach Farmers Market officially returns for its summer season this Saturday, July 25. Operating weekly from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, the market brings local agriculture and artisanal goods directly to the waterfront.
This market directly addresses urban food insecurity by participating in programs like SNAP/EBT and the Healthy Incentives Program (HIP). It allows residents to easily access fresh, local produce while retaining economic capital within the immediate community.
The market also serves as a vibrant community destination. With live entertainment scheduled each week—including the band “The Twos” performing this Saturday—the event seamlessly blends local commerce with cultural recreation.
City Council to Evaluate Zoning Expansion for Body Art and Food Trucks
The Revere City Council will hold a public hearing on Monday, July 27, at 6:00 PM in the City Council Chambers to discuss proposed zoning revisions. The primary focus is on expanding the operational boundaries for body art establishments and mobile food vendors.
Historically limited to specific districts, these niche businesses could soon see increased zoning flexibility across the city. The proposed ordinance changes aim to lower bureaucratic barriers, activate underutilized spaces, and stimulate independent economic activity.
Residents and stakeholders will have the opportunity to weigh in on Monday evening. The hearing will explore how Revere can best balance traditional neighborhood characteristics with the integration of modern, agile enterprises.

Designed to foster environmental literacy, the Bash offers interactive experiences like instructional fishing, kayaking, and a live crab touch tank. These hands-on activities are paired with traditional beach fun, such as sandcastle building and face painting.
By removing financial and logistical barriers, the event helps urban youth build a lasting connection with the region’s marine environment. It continues to serve as a strong model for inclusive coastal recreation and ecological education.
