 Update 4:53 PM: Ferguson officials have confirmed that the Ferguson Farmers Market  has been canceled for Saturday due public safety concerns.

The Ferguson Farmers Market has been canceled this weekend. Market manager Marveena Miller said the market will be closed, because StreetFest was canceled.

StreetFest is an annual Ferguson event that had been scheduled for this weekend. City officials decided earlier this week to postpone the festival.

In a statement regarding StreetFest, Toni Roper, the marketing and events coordinator for Ferguson said “the safety of our residents, vendors and all participants is our main concern.”

Last Saturday, protest at the Ferguson Farmers Market resulted in a confrontation.
