The 2026 Farmers’ Market begins Wednesday, June 3, 2026. The market operates Wednesdays from 3:30–6:30pm through September 16, 2026. Vendors offer a mix of local produce, baked goods, specialty foods, handmade items, and health & beauty products. EBT is accepted for all qualifying purchases and incentive dollars through the Produce Perks Columbus program for fresh produce are offered for all EBT participants.
NEW this year! Pick up a Frequent Shopper Card at the Information Booth and collect punches throughout the season! Once you earn 10 punches, you’ll be entered for a chance to win two tickets to a Special Engagement at the Conservatory. The winner will be drawn in September at the close of the season.
Kids can also participate in VEGGIE CHAMPS, a weekly activity that rewards kids with Veggie Bucks to spend at the market.
Markets will occur if it rains but will be canceled in the case of dangerous weather: high winds, lightning, or extreme heat.
