Some vendors plan to sell at an alternative farmers' market this weekend in Bloomington. 

The city is resuming the regular downtown market Saturday after a two week suspension due to a concern for public safety.  

The suspension followed  weeks of unrest over a vendor with alleged ties to Identity Evropa, a known white supremacist group.

The city’s announcement included several changes to market practices and additional security measures.

Still some vendors have expressed concerns for their safety. 

This Saturday's alternative market is being called a "Hate-Free Farmers Market." It will run from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. at Bloomingfoods East. 

This story will be updated.
