Monticello Main Street Farmers Market

Monticello Main Street Farmers Market sits within a downtown program tied to Monticello Main Street, Inc., a nonprofit program of The National Trust for Historic Preservation focused on revitalizing the district. That mission gives this market a distinctly downtown Monticello frame rather than an isolated parking-lot setup. In season, it runs on Thursdays from 3 to 6 p.m. at State and Livinston Streets, placing the market directly into the rhythm of central Monticello and its historic-commercial setting. For shoppers, that means an afternoon stop that connects the market to the same Main Street organization behind other downtown events and promotions in Monticello.

Why it matters locally

Monticello Main Street, Inc. is dedicated to revitalization and operates as a nonprofit program of The National Trust for Historic Preservation, which gives the market a direct link to the stewardship of historic downtown Monticello. The market is not presented as a standalone seasonal event; it sits alongside Monticello Main Street programming that also includes a calendar of downtown events and shopping activity in historic downtown Monticello.

That local role is reinforced by the market’s placement at State and Livinston Streets and by the wider downtown references across Monticello Main Street materials, including the Square, Washington and Main Streets, and other central business-district landmarks. In practical terms, the market contributes to the same downtown ecosystem supported by Monticello Main Street, Inc. and partners including CIBM Bank.

What you'll find there

The vendor roster here reads like a downtown Main Street cross-section, with boutiques, cafes, service businesses, and organizations appearing alongside the market listing rather than a produce-only lineup.

Monticello Main Street’s calendar also lists the Farmer's Market as an event, alongside downtown programming such as The Whites of Spring 2026 at CIBM Bank, 204 S Market. That pairing places the market within a broader Main Street events calendar rather than as a one-off stand-alone listing.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, so visitors planning to walk downtown with a pet will need to adjust before heading to State and Livinston Streets. The market runs on Thursdays from 3 to 6 p.m. from June through October, which makes it an afternoon stop rather than an early-morning market trip. Restrooms are not available on site, another practical detail worth factoring into a longer downtown outing.

If you are orienting yourself in central Monticello, the market’s downtown placement connects naturally with the Square and nearby Washington and Main Streets references used across Monticello Main Street materials. For direct planning questions, the market lists a phone contact at (217) 762-9318.
