Bowie Farmers' Market

Bowie Farmers' Market carries a distinctly local frame: the city’s market materials spell out residency rules for businesses within the corporate City limits and address nonprofit eligibility by the organization’s official address. That civic structure sits alongside a broad Sunday market at Bowie High School, where the season runs from May through October and the vendor bench stretches from produce growers and bakers to prepared-food operators and artisans. In practice, it reads less like a single-category produce stop and more like a city-run weekly marketplace with farms, lunch options, pantry items, and handmade goods sharing the same lot.

Why it matters locally

The City of Bowie hosts the Bowie Farmers' Market directly, tying it to municipal programming rather than a private event operator. The market’s vendor rules also emphasize city-based participation, with residency standards for businesses located within Bowie’s corporate limits and separate treatment for nonprofit organizations based on their official address. That structure gives the market a clear local-business and local-organization focus without narrowing the mix to one type of seller.

The city also presents the market as part of its seasonal public calendar, placing it alongside other civic events and programs while keeping the market anchored at Bowie High School on Sundays from late May through October. Food vendors are required to have Prince George’s County Health Department permits on file, adding a county-level compliance layer to the city-run setup.

What you'll find there

The strongest throughline here is range. Fresh produce and flowers sit next to sourdough, pies, coffee, juices, prepared meals, wellness products, and handmade household or art items, so a visit can lean grocery run, breakfast stop, or general shopping trip depending on who is set up that Sunday.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the clearest visit-planning rule to know before heading over. The market runs in the Bowie High School parking lot at 15200 Annapolis Road, so parking is built into the setting rather than separated from it. The season is limited to May through October, and the listed schedule is Sundays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.. Restrooms are not available on site. If you need a direct point of contact, the market manager is Matt Corley, listed by name with both phone and email through the city.
