Fulton Street Farmers Market

Fulton Street Farmers Market frames itself around farmers and artisans, celebration of diverse cultures, and sustainable food access in Grand Rapids. That mission gives this market a distinct shape: a year-round weekly schedule, room for a large vendor roster, and programs that connect shopping with broader food access goals. The market also hosts weekly farmers markets year-round and adds distinct event series, including ART! at the Market, seasonal rummage sales, and two BIPOC Night Markets each summer. In practice, that means a visit here is anchored by regular midweek and weekend market hours while the calendar extends beyond produce shopping into recurring community programming.

What you'll find there

This market pairs its weekly farmers market with a broader event calendar and a roster that can reach 100 vendors, giving the market a larger footprint than a short stop for one or two staples. Even in the limited named vendor list, the mix points to drinks, wellness programming, and regular event activity alongside the core market setup.

• -Find locally roasted coffee from Runyon House Roasts.
• -Pick up locally roasted coffee from Last Mile Cafe.
• -Join Yoga on the Plaza led by Kate Benson of Grand Rapids Yoga Company.

Beyond weekly shopping, the market runs ART! at the Market on second Sundays from June through October, Spring, Summer, and Fall Rummage Sales, and two BIPOC Night Markets each summer. Its event calendar also includes markets, workshops, and volunteer workdays such as a spring cleanup focused on weeding, sweeping stalls, and mulching flower beds.

Know before you go

Parking is one of the biggest logistics points here: the market has more than 100 customer parking spots on the property, with access from both the Fulton and Fountain entrances. When that lot fills, extra parking is available across Fuller Street at the Salvation Army on Saturdays or along nearby streets including Fountain and Fitzhugh. Dogs are not allowed, and restrooms are available on site. The market runs on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 8 AM to 2 PM, so the schedule gives you both a midweek option and two weekend-adjacent shopping days. Fulton Street Farmers Market also operates as a 501(c)(3) organization and relies on volunteers throughout the year, which helps explain the steady stream of cleanup days and other hands-on opportunities around the market grounds.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted here, with EBT funds converted into SNAP tokens at the Welcome Desk for use with all market vendors. The market also offers Double Up Food Bucks, providing up to a $20 match in Food Bucks in addition to SNAP tokens. Payment methods are clearly addressed by the market, which makes this one of the first practical stops to understand before you shop.
