Dallas Farmers Market

OVERVIEW — Dallas Farmers Market

The Dallas Farmers Market is one of North Texas’ most iconic open-air market destinations.
Located in the heart of Downtown Dallas, the Market has been connecting local farmers, artisans, makers, and food lovers since 1941. Today, it remains a vibrant community hub where visitors can shop fresh produce, enjoy diverse global cuisine, explore handmade goods, and experience a true taste of Dallas culture.

The market spans multiple indoor and outdoor areas, including The Shed—a large open-air pavilion featuring local farmers, ranchers, and seasonal vendors—and The Market, an indoor hall filled with restaurants, specialty food shops, and artisan retailers.

The Dallas Farmers Market provides a family-friendly environment focused on local agriculture, small business support, sustainability, and community engagement.
