The Lancaster Farmers Market runs for 23 weeks on Saturday mornings from May to October, plus our Fall Festival Market and 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.
Our market also accepts SNAP/EBT payments for all food grocery items! 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.
All produce growers also accept WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program coupons and the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program benefits.
