Troy Waterfront Farmers Market

From May through October, the Troy Waterfront Farmers Market transforms the heart of downtown Troy into an open-air street festival with over 125 vendors. On the busiest Saturdays, as many as 15,000 people visit the market to shop for fresh local produce, meats, prepared foods, libations, specialty products, and handmade crafts. Couples, families, college students, and neighborhood regulars all mingle in Monument Square and on the surrounding streets, milling around between the tents, sidewalk tables, and music stages. From November to April the market moves inside to the Troy Atrium.

Troy Waterfront Farmers Market, in its own listing

Before you go.

Markets change days and hours with the season, and the USDA directory this listing comes from does not carry hours for every market. If a day matters, check the market's own page or call the manager. At markets that take SNAP, you usually swipe once at an information booth for tokens, and many states match SNAP dollars spent on fruit and vegetables.

Worth asking before you go:

• What days and months does it run?
• Is there a SNAP booth, and is there a matching program?
• Which vendors grow what they sell?
