This site is a community blog for those interested in learning more about the Multicultural Market of Willmar. This project has been in the planning stage for several years and is now moving into the final stages of development, with a capital campaign scheduled to launch in late 2007 or early 2008.
So, what is the Multicultural Market?
Imagine a colorful, bustling market filled with the smells of freshly baked breads and hand-prepared foods. Imagine lively music, vibrant meeting spaces, and a variety of culturally-diverse shops offering everything from handmade jewelry, clothing, and art, to fresh meats and produce, coffee, tea, spices, and bakery items.
The Multicultural Market will be a place to take your family, entertain guests, schedule a business meeting, grab a quick bite to eat, pick up groceries, or just gather with friends. It will be the cultural and entertainment hub of downtown Willmar.
