The Downtown Yakima Farmers Market will be opening 9am-1pm on Sundays starting May 24th and go thru October 11th.

We have worked closely with the Yakima Health District, The City of Yakima and the Washington State Farmers Market Association on protocols that will help keep our vendors, volunteers, staff and shoppers safe.

It will not be the same old farmers market we know and love. It will be a new market, one to fall in love with again.

For updates and our FAQ sheet, make sure regularly visit the market website at www.downtownyakimafarmersmarket.com and our social media pages @DowntownYakimaFarmersMarket. We will post updates as they become available.

In the state of emergency under COVID-19 you’ll be able to enjoy featured essential businesses from the food and agriculture sectors, and artists who make soaps, sanitizers and face masks. These vendors come to you from Washington and bordering counties of Idaho and Oregon.

If interest in being a Vendor for the 2020 market, please contact the Market Manager at farmersmarket@downtownyakima.com and/or 509-961-2055.
