Faneuil Hall Marketplace, one of Boston’s most popular tourist destinations, reopened to the public Wednesday with a pair of special performances by the facility’s favorite street musicians.

The market, which includes several buildings of retail outlets and restaurants and lined with cobblestone walkways, was closed in March because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Guitarist and singer Ryan LaPerle is scheduled to perform in the South Market and Violin Viiv is expected to perform in the West End of the Marketplace, according to a statement from management.

The reopening includes the Quincy Market, with its large variety of food options to satisfy any taste, and dozens of pushcart merchants selling gifts, souvenirs, T-shirts and other items.

Property manager Ashkenazy Acquisition Corp. is embroiled in a rent dispute with Quincy Market’s merchants and landowner the Boston Planning & Development Agency. Ashkenazy is demanding back rent from stores hit hard by the pandemic, and the BPDA has demanded Ashkenazy to consider selling the ground lease on the city-owned property or turning it back to the city if it won’t give tenants relief.
