Open in Central Park each Saturday morning and Wednesday evenings, April through November, and every Saturday year-round, The Durham Farmers’ Market offers locally grown fruits and vegetables, meats, eggs, cut flowers, artisanal cheeses and breads, and more. Peruse the booths for some of the best locally sourced edible items you can find knowing that no vendor comes from more than 70 miles away. During peak months, the Durham Farmers' Market is often surrounded by and timed with the Durham Craft Market which is made up of artisans from Durham and surrounding areas. All artists are juried in and represent a wide variety of high quality, affordable arts and crafts.
Great open air market! Committed to local business, this is a community hub with art, music, local food & produce, fresh flowers, and more than I could possibly list - no pets allowed in market though there is an artist craft market in the same area that does welcome pets. The produce is located in a covered pavilion safe from sun/rain but the rest of the market is uncovered. Free parking lot within walking distance and near a park!

Great farmer market with diverse vendors from local farms owners to bakery & coffee to native plants and local honey and even some crafts. Although still on the small side but has plenty to offer! With more potential to grow at a central location ☺️

very cute smaller scale farmers’ market, but a lot of variety of vendors, artists and food trucks! I just bought snacks/food for this first time visit (shout out Strong Arm Baking + Soul Cocina!🤤), but getting my pockets and bags ready for next time!

I love visiting the farmers market when I’m in Durham! The selection is always amazing, but my favorite part is the flowers. There’s something special about bringing home a fresh bouquet every time!

One of my favorite places to go locally on the weekends. It has great fresh goods (veggies, breads, meats, etc) and craft vendors. Parking is super easy, also. Well worth the trip even if you don't live locally, it is definitely one of my favorite things to do in Durham.

Great way to spend a leisurely morning. The kids love picking out a pastry and playing at the nearby playground.
