The Downtown Des Moines Farmers’ Market normally runs from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. every Saturday from May through October. This special event is an exception! On Saturday, July 26, the Market will celebrate its 50th season with extended hours from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
This milestone celebration will feature over a veriety of vendors, live local music on a main stage near the Historic Courthouse on Fifth Avenue, giveaways every hour, fun family activities like the Market Scavenger Hunt, and many other surprises. It’s a true thank-you to the community from the Des Moines Partnership for supporting 50 incredible years of one of Des Moines’ signature events.
