Sankofa World Market

About

Sankofa World Market is a weekly celebration of food, community and culture in Providence's West End. The market offers fresh, locally grown produce, prepared food, hand-made goods, weekly live music, cooking demonstrations, and more. Vendors highlight specialty crops like bitter melon, sweet potato greens, bitter leaf, luffa, Asian corn, amaranth, water spinach, and long beans. The market started in 2014 and operates throughout the summer months. Shoppers can use SNAP/EBT and WIC. A shared-use community kitchen established in 2018 allows local food entrepreneurs to rent kitchen space at affordable cost. Food prepared in the kitchen is sold at market alongside garden produce.
