There’s no better way to experience the heart and soul of a place than through its local markets, and Greater Green Bay has several of them! From the buzz of downtown to the charm of nearby communities like De Pere, Howard, and Oneida, our local markets are a great way for visitors to get a glimpse of what it’s like to live like a local.
So, whether you're visiting for a weekend or planning an extended stay, we suggest adding a few farmers' markets to your itinerary. Of course, you’re going to be able to find all of the fresh seasonal produce you could ever want, but it’s also a great place to grab one-of-a-kind souvenirs, hear live music, and experience our local community in action.
So, are you ready to shop? Here are *the* must-visit farmers markets in Greater Green Bay:
Saturday Farmers Market
Every Saturday through October 25th
7:00 am to 12:00 pm
Washington Street between Walnut and Doty
If you only have time for one market, make it this one. Held in the heart of downtown Green Bay, the Saturday Farmers Market is the city’s largest and most established market, drawing in visitors who want to kick off their weekend like a local.
Starting bright and early at 7:00 am, you'll find over 100 vendors offering everything from produce and fresh flowers to locally made cheeses, baked goods, and handmade crafts. There’s a special area for food trucks and live music, so be sure to come hungry and ready to dance!
Farmers’ Market on Broadway
Every Wednesday through September 24th
3:00 pm to 8:00 pm (7:00 pm after Labor Day)
Broadway District, between Dousman & Walnut
Visiting during the week? Don’t miss the Farmers’ Market on Broadway! This lively, eclectic event turns a two-block stretch of Broadway into a buzzing marketplace, with over 90 vendors and a heavy focus on prepared food, live music, and beer trucks.
Suffice it to say, this is a lively place to be on Wednesday evenings! 😁
So, grab a craft beer from a local brewery truck, order up an entree, and browse the many booths of fresh produce and artisan goods. It's more than a market, it’s a night out on the town!
Market on Military
Every Thursday through October 30th
2:00 pm to 7:00 pm (Dusk in Fall)
Green Bay Plaza on Military Avenue
The west side of Green Bay has its own weekly farmers’ market called the Market on Military, which is held in the Green Bay Plaza. This easygoing market offers a mix of produce, crafts, food trucks, and family-friendly activities. It’s also a great place to find high-quality meat, eggs, and dairy products from family-run farms in the area!
The more relaxed setting of this market makes it a great option if you're looking for a more chill experience, plus it’s very easy to access and has plenty of parking.
Downtown De Pere Farmers Market
Every Thursday through September 25th
3:00 pm to 8:00 pm (3:00 pm to 7:00 pm in September)
George Street Plaza, De Pere
Just a teensy bit south of Green Bay is the city of De Pere, where the Downtown De Pere Farmers Market is held every Thursday evening. Set along the scenic Fox River in the walkable George Street Plaza, this market offers local produce, flowers, meats, and handmade products in an extremely quaint small-town setting.
Just like the Green Bay markets, you can enjoy live music and food vendors at the market. But unlike the Green Bay markets, dogs ARE welcome as long as they are leashed.
Howard Commons Farmers Market
Every Monday through August 25th
5:00 pm to 8:00 pm
Howard Commons Activity Complex
The Howard Commons Farmers Market is the newest market to pop up in the Greater Green Bay area, and it’s already proving to be a fun addition for locals and visitors!
Located in the Arnold & Gloria Schmidt Pavilion at the Howard Commons Activity Complex, the market includes fresh produce, wood crafts, jewelry, homemade baked goods, local businesses, and more! Food trucks, live entertainment, and a great selection of local beer and wine are available during market hours in the Biergarten.
Oneida Farmers Market
Every Thursday through October 3rd
12:00 pm to 6:00 pm
N7332 Water Circle Place, Oneida
For a unique cultural experience, plan a visit to the Oneida Farmers Market, held on the Oneida Nation Reservation.
