Olney Farmers and Artists Market

Olney Farmers and Artists Market combines a Sunday farmers market schedule with a visible artists-and-activities mix that shapes the visit from the start. It runs in Olney from May through November on Sunday mornings, and the lineup includes prepared food, craft vendors, music, wellness programming, and kid-focused activities rather than produce-only shopping. One visitor described finding “flowers, food from all over the world, handmade goods,” along with live music and a play area for kids, which matches the market’s own emphasis on artists, musicians, and family activities.

What you'll find there

Frankly ... Pizza, Freddy Turim’s omelets, and a long craft roster give this market a wider mix than a food-only stop. The artist side is especially visible, with named makers spanning quilts, gourds, knitwear, doll clothes, hairbows, jewelry, beads, and other handmade work.

Music, wellness, and children’s activities also appear in the market programming. The Worms are listed as musical guests, Clark Mollenhoff appears in the BE FIT TENT as an acupuncturist, The Goddard School is named for face painting, temporary tattoos, and coloring, Cupcakes Lounge runs a kids’ cupcake decorating workshop, and Seaglass, Silver and Shells leads beach-art making with mat board, sand, and shells.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the clearest visit-planning rule to know before heading over. The market is held at 2801 Olney-Sandy Spring Rd. in Olney, and the Sunday morning window runs from 9 am to 1 pm during the May-to-November season. Restrooms are not available on site, so shorter visits may be easier to plan, especially if you are coming with children for the coloring, cupcake decorating, or beach-art activities tied to the community and kids’ programming. A review also places the market near the library, a useful landmark if you already know that part of Olney.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at Olney Farmers and Artists Market. Payment methods are presented clearly by the market, which helps if you are planning to split a visit between prepared food vendors and the artist stalls. That added payment clarity matters here because the lineup spans food, crafts, and family activities rather than one narrow category of shopping.
