The 2024 Lancaster Farmers Market season opens on the first Saturday in May and runs through the first Saturday in October.
We also host a special Harvest Market the Saturday before Thanksgiving.
Rain or shine, find us downtown on Chestnut Street between Broad and Columbus.
Are you missing the farmers market? Don’t worry! We’ll be back with our special encore Harvest Market the Saturday before Thanksgiving.
Rejoin all your favorite local farmers and bakers and stock up for your holiday feast! Make sure to check out our artisan vendors as well for some one-of-a-kind ways to get a jump on your seasonal gift shopping.
Farmers Market Vendors will be outside in the big parking lot in their usual spots. This is the same morning as Lancaster’s Holiday Parade, so we recommend coming early if you want to avoid any parade-related street closures.
If you’re already downtown for the parade, come warm up with a hot beverage and a snack! Outside, we’ll have Chuck’s Wagon Food Truck, Panini Paradise, Brewholders Coffee Trailer and Posh Teatime Co. Curly Dog Coffee will also be in the Keller Market House with a Pop Up Coffee Shop, so stop inside to warm up, refuel and continue shopping!
We are now accepting vendor applications for our special Harvest Market on Saturday, November 23rd.
This market takes place outdoors the Saturday before Thanksgiving from 9am to 12pm.
If you are a local farmer, food producer or artisan, please consider joining our great group of vendors.
Ours is a real community market, with wonderful and dedicated customers, and lots of “extras” like food trucks, live music and family activities.
Click on “Get Involved” in the main menu to learn more. If you’re interested, please fill out the 2024 Farmers Market Application and indicate that you are interested in just the Harvest Market.
The Lancaster Farmers Market runs for 23 weeks on Saturday mornings from May to October, plus our Harvest Market the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Each week our farmers and artisans bring a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, baked goods, crafts, meat, flowers, eggs, and more.
There’s always a little something extra happening each week – we have a Community Tent where you can meet and learn more about local organizations, there are food trucks who visit, musical entertainment and kids’ activities from time to time. Check our schedule to see what fun is in store for your visit!
The market takes place rain or shine. Well-behaved dogs are welcome, but should be on a leash. Parking is available on-street and in select parking lots nearby.
Most of our vendors accept credit and debit cards. Some accept Ohio Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program and all produce growers accept WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program coupons.
Our market also accepts SNAP/EBT payments! Learn how you can double your SNAP purchase with Produce Perks and get up to $25 of free fruits & veggies! Visit the Market Tent for more info or to get started.
The Lancaster Farmers Market is managed by Lancaster Fresh Market, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non profit organization that also operates the Keller Market House, an indoor, year round marketplace in downtown Lancaster.
