Farmers Markets near Fort Wayne, IN

Fort Wayne

Fort Wayne's Historic West Main Street Farmers' Market runs Fridays, 3 to 8 p.m., May through October, along the West Main corridor at 1936 West Main Street. Produce and handmade crafts from area growers fill the block, and the evening hours make it one of the few markets in the city built around after-work shopping rather than Saturday mornings.

At the corner of Barr and Wayne, YLNI's producer-only market carries on a tradition that traces back to the 1840s Barr Street Market, once two city blocks of permanent stalls. It draws around 150 vendors and 10,000 visitors most Saturdays, 9am to 1pm, selling only what they grow, raise, or make. A winter market picks up when the summer season ends.
