Menominee Historic Downtown Farmers Market Association

At the Spies Library Parking lot, the Menominee Historic Downtown Farmers Market Association sets its Saturday market in the middle of downtown summer and fall routines. The market also runs a second weekly outing on Thursdays at Great Lakes Memorial Marina Park along the 600 Block of 1st Street, giving Menominee two different downtown settings during its seasonal run. Its own emphasis stays close to local growers and makers, with a vendor roster that ranges from eggs and maple syrup to coffee, bread, botanicals, and blueberries.

Why it matters locally

The market’s identity is tied directly to historic downtown Menominee, and its two weekly locations keep that activity in visible public spaces: the Spies Library Parking lot on Saturdays and Great Lakes Memorial Marina Park on Thursdays. That downtown footprint matters because the market is centered on locally grown and crafted products, a focus reflected in the association’s own language and in a vendor lineup made up of farm, pantry, beverage, bakery, and botanical businesses. Rather than operating as a single-day stop, it gives shoppers both a weekday and weekend window during the May-to-September season.

What you'll find there

The vendor mix points to a market with room for both grocery staples and prepared or crafted goods, instead of leaning on a single category. Names on the roster suggest a shopping trip where produce-adjacent pantry items, beverages, baked goods, and specialty makers all share the downtown setup.

Know before you go

The biggest planning detail is that this market uses two different downtown locations depending on the day. Saturdays are held at the Spies Library Parking lot, while Thursdays shift to the 600 Block of 1st Street at Great Lakes Memorial Marina Park. The season runs from late May through late September, so this is a warm-weather market rather than a year-round stop. Another practical point: dogs are not allowed, and restrooms are not listed as available in the market details. Payment methods are presented clearly, which helps if you are planning a mixed purchase from several vendors in one visit.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at the market, an important detail for shoppers planning to use food benefits during the season. The market also indicates that payment methods are clearly identified, which can make it easier to sort out purchases vendor by vendor once you arrive.
