What’s not to love about a farmers market? Where else can you find fresh produce, all kinds of tasty food, baked goods, art and handmade gifts to take home in one place?
Visiting the Sarasota Farmers Market is a longstanding tradition reaching back to 1979 when it was started to bring foot traffic and help revitalize Sarasota's downtown.
It's always fun to enjoy the live music, a fun kids' area for little ones, a space for non-profits, and much more. There's also a wide variety of prepared foods to snack on while you shop.
The Sarasota Farmers Market has even been named one of the best in the South by Southern Living Magazine. It's held in downtown Sarasota every single Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., all year long.
If you don't think a farmers market is reason enough to visit a town, there's plenty to do in beautiful Sarasota. Local destinations include the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, The Ringling Museum of Art, and some of the most breathtaking beaches in the country.
The Sarasota Farmers Market is held in downtown Sarasota (1487 2nd St c, Sarasota, FL 34236 for your GPS), from 7:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. every Saturday, year-round.
