City Market's Farmers Market

City Market hosts one of the region's largest and most established year-round farmers markets, operating Saturdays and Sundays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. (April through November). Rain or shine, you'll find fresh produce, local goods, plants, flowers, specialty foods, and handmade items from regional vendors. The market is covered, making it comfortable to browse even in less-than-ideal weather. Before you go, check the interactive vendor map at thecitymarketkc.org to see which vendors are coming and where their stalls are located—it updates in real time. Bring comfortable shoes and consider a wagon or collapsible cart to haul your purchases; the gate attendant can hold items while you fetch your vehicle. What's available changes weekly depending on the season and weather, so arriving early gives you the best selection. Most vendors accept both cash and cards, and there's an ATM in the main lobby. Since many shops and restaurants in City Market stay open after the market closes, it's easy to make a full afternoon of your visit.
