Coming soon---a partial ban on pets at Kenosha Harbor Market.
The Market issued this statement: Beginning September 9--- pets will not be allowed inside the vendor corridors of Kenosha Harbor Market. Pets---walked or carried---will not be allowed anywhere on the sales side of the market along 2nd Avenue, Place de Douai---or---the areas on 56th Street where vendors are conducting business.
Trained service animals will still be permitted by federal law.
Pets will be permitted on the outside perimeter of the Market, including the sidewalks behind the vendor tents on 2nd Avenue---the grassy areas and walkways surrounding the Kenosha Public Museum fountain---and---the grassy areas east and west of Place de Douai. A map of the areas where pets are permitted is available on the Kenosha Harbor Market website: http://kenoshaharbormarket.com/.
This change was made as the result of recent events and complaints related to animals at the market. With such a large Market and such dense pedestrian traffic on the Market site, safety is always the first priority. Additionally, health, customer comfort, and vendor requests were taken into consideration when this decision was made. Many farmers’ markets across the country implement similar rules regarding animals. The Kenosha Common Markets Board indicated it wants health and safety to be at the forefront of the market experience.
