The Maryville Farmers Market Runs Through November: The Fall Saturdays Worth Marking

September 08, 2026 ยท by Mary

The Saturday farmers market at Founders' Square doesn't shut down after summer. It's open every Saturday from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m., and it runs all the way through November 14 for the 2026 season. If you only went in the spring, the fall market is worth another look โ€” this is when the craft days and the seasonal markets start showing up, and the last Saturday is a different event entirely.

A few dates to put on the calendar:

The market is a producer-only one, meaning the people behind each stall grew it, made it, or baked it. You're buying directly from the folks who brought it, which is the main reason to make it a regular Saturday stop with the kids.

Some practical notes for taking kids: it runs rain or shine, and it moves fast โ€” by mid-morning the popular stands thin out, so the 8:30 opening is the calm way to go if your kids do better with less crowd. It's in the 200 block of East Broadway at Founders' Square downtown, and it's free to wander. Most families just grab one or two things and make a short loop of it, which is about the right length for little legs.
