Experience a long-running, year-round farmers market at City Market, open rain or shine. Browse fresh produce, locally crafted goods, plants and flowers, specialty foods, and handmade items from regional vendors. An interactive vendor map updates in real time to show who is participating and where each stall is located. The market is covered and easy to navigate in any weather, so comfortable shoes are a good idea. Carts or collapsible wagons come in handy, and a gate attendant can hold your purchases while you get your vehicle. Selection varies with the season and weather. Vendors accept both cash and cards, and there is an ATM in the main lobby. Many nearby shops and restaurants remain open after the market concludes, making it simple to extend your visit. Hours vary by season. Arriving early helps with the best selection and is a great way to support local growers and makers.
