The Fayetteville Farmers Market is a genuine Northwest Arkansas institution — one of the oldest and most beloved markets in the state, ringing the historic Downtown Square since 1973. On market mornings the square fills with dozens of local growers and makers, live music, and crowds of regulars — it’s as much a community gathering as a place to shop.
About the Market
What sets the Fayetteville Farmers Market apart is its strict producer-only, grown-or-made-local rule: everything sold is raised, grown, or handmade by the vendor, generally within about 60 miles. That means genuinely seasonal produce, farm eggs and meats, cut flowers, baked goods, and local crafts — roughly 70 vendors at peak season, right on the square.
When It’s Open
- Saturdays (April–November): 7 a.m.–1 p.m. on the Downtown Square — the big one.
- Tuesday Night Market (May–September): 4:30–8:30 p.m. — an evening market with extra live music and a festive feel.
- Thursday mornings (May–September): 7 a.m.–1 p.m.
- Winter indoor market (roughly December–March): moves indoors at a nearby location — check ahead for the current day and venue.
- Cost: Free to attend.
Days and hours can shift year to year, so confirm the current schedule on the official market website before you go. For more of the district, see our Downtown Fayetteville Square guide.
