Batavia Farmers Market

Batavia MainStreet ties this market directly to downtown Batavia’s larger calendar of shopping, events, and small-business activity, which gives the market a setting that is more intertwined with the district around it than a standalone parking-lot stop. From May through October, Batavia Farmers Market runs on Saturday mornings and also adds a Wednesday evening market, giving shoppers both a traditional weekend trip and a midweek option in the center of town. The market’s own description keeps the focus on produce, baked goods, artisan products, plants, honey, and related farm products, so the mix starts with food and growing goods rather than drifting into a generic street fair.

Why it matters locally

N River Street hosts the Saturday morning market, while select Wednesday evening markets shift to South Riverwalk Plaza, placing the market in two named downtown Batavia locations rather than at a single isolated site. Batavia MainStreet also connects the market to its broader downtown work, including the Batavia Boardwalk Shops program that is designed to attract small businesses, create more retail shopping, and bring people into downtown.

That local role is reinforced by the Artisan Collective, which offers pop-up opportunities alongside the Farmers’ Market from May through October, adding another pathway for makers and small sellers to appear in the same downtown orbit. In Batavia, the market sits inside a wider MainStreet effort built around downtown activity, small-business incubation, and regular public programming, not as a one-off weekly event.

What you'll find there

The market description points first to farm and pantry staples—produce, baked goods, plants, honey, and related farm products—then expands into artisan goods and downtown food-and-drink businesses that appear in Batavia’s market ecosystem. The result is a mix that combines market basics with nearby makers, prepared food, and specialty retail names tied to downtown Batavia.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed at the market, so that rule may change plans before you leave home. Timing also matters: the market runs seasonally from May to October, with Saturday morning hours and a separate Wednesday evening slot rather than one uniform weekly schedule.

Location can vary by day. Saturday mornings are on N River Street, while select Wednesday evenings are held at South Riverwalk Plaza. If you are arriving by car as part of market operations, vendor parking is handled separately after unloading, with designated vendor parking areas and exceptions only for disabled parking placards or extenuating circumstances approved by the Market Coordinator. Restrooms are not listed among visitor amenities.
