Marco Island Farmers Market Set to Return for 2025–2026 Season: Fresh Produce, Local Flavor, and Island Vibes Await 🥕🍊🌴

MARCO ISLAND, Fla. — Mark your calendars and grab your market bags — the beloved Marco Island Farmers Market is gearing up for another bustling season of fresh flavors, friendly faces, and island charm. The 2025–2026 market season will officially open on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, and continue every Wednesday through April 15, 2026, at Veterans Community Park, located at 901 Park Avenue.

Running from 7:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., the market has become a cherished weekly tradition for locals and visitors alike. Each week, dozens of vendors gather to offer fresh fruits and vegetables, handmade baked goods, local honey, artisanal crafts, jewelry, and ready-to-eat foods — all set against the scenic backdrop of Marco Island’s sunny charm.

The market is family-friendly, featuring a laid-back island atmosphere perfect for morning strolls, coffee in hand, and leisurely shopping. With free on-site parking, early birds can snag the best produce — and the best spots — before the midday rush.

“It’s not just about shopping,” said one longtime vendor. “It’s about connecting — neighbors meeting neighbors, visitors discovering the island’s community spirit, and everyone sharing a slice of Florida sunshine.”

Shoppers are encouraged to:

• 🌅 Arrive early for the freshest produce and baked goods.

• 🛍️ Bring reusable bags for easy carrying.

• ☕ Make a morning of it — enjoy breakfast, shop local, then head to the beach.

• ☁️ Check for updates on the City of Marco Island Parks & Recreation page, especially in case of weather changes or holiday adjustments.

If a Wednesday holiday occurs during the season, the market will move to the preceding Monday to ensure no one misses out on their midweek marketplace fix.

From sweet citrus to handmade treasures, the Marco Island Farmers Market continues to celebrate the best of Southwest Florida — one basket at a time.
