Saturdays
June 22 - October 26, 2024
8AM - 1PM
Located in Northcenter Town Square, the Northcenter Farmers Market is one of the oldest markets on the North Side of Chicago. Farmers and local merchants will set up and offer their freshest fruits, vegetables, flowers, pastries and other handmade products for sale. We'll be open every Saturday through October from 8 AM - 1 PM, with the exception of August 19th (Ribfest Chicago weekend).
Our market will continue to accept SNAP/Link and offer Link Match vouchers in 2023. If you use your Link card at the market, we can match your swipes up to $25 with Link Match vouchers to be spent on fruits and vegetables, essentially doubling your purchasing power! Visit the Northcenter Chamber of Commerce info tent onsite to learn more.
