News Release

WABASH — Downtown Wabash Inc. has announced the return of the Downtown Wabash Farmers Market beginning Saturday, May 11.

The market is entering its 17th season and will continue to offer local handmade, homemade and homegrown products. The market will run from 8 a.m. to noon every Saturday, from May 11 through Sept. 28, at the Honeywell Center/Wabash Elks parking lot on the corner of Cass and Market streets.

More than 40 vendors participating in the 2024 season will feature fresh fruits and vegetables, locally sourced meat and dairy products, home goods, plants, baked goods, arts and artisan wares.

“I enjoy catching up with returning vendors, meeting new ones and watching the community enjoy the market each Saturday,” said Downtown Wabash Inc. downtown coordinator Carly Hawkins, who is entering her third year as the farmers market manager. “We have had more vendors than ever before immediately sign up for the season, and we are thrilled to announce that the market is already at full capacity.”

The Downtown Wabash Farmers Market is a family-friendly atmosphere, which includes furry friends, as pets are always welcome. Shoppers are invited to experience additional offerings including a kids activity corner, live music, food trucks, vendor demonstrations and more.

The Downtown Wabash Farmers Market will accept financial assistance programs such as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as SNAP, throughout the 2024 season. The market also offers Double Up Indiana Programming for SNAP customers, offering free fruits and vegetables when they use their SNAP/EBT card. For each $1 spent in SNAP at the market, customers earn $1 in Double Up incentives to buy fruits and vegetables at the same market. Each customer is limited to earning $20 per day in Double Up incentives.
