Hattiesburg Farmers Market

Downtown Hattiesburg Association is a named supporter of Hattiesburg Farmers Market, tying this weekly market directly to the downtown district where it sets up each Thursday. The market meets at Town Square Park on the corner of Main Street and Buschman Street, giving it a fixed downtown address rather than a rotating pop-up footprint. Hattiesburg Farmers Market traces its roots to 2004, when it began at Town Square Park as the Hub City Market, then took later names before adopting its current one in 2010. The result is a long-running Thursday market with produce, artisan goods, and prepared-food vendors gathered in one downtown stop.

Why it matters locally

Town Square Park has been the market’s home since its 2004 start as the Hub City Market, and the market has stayed tied to downtown Hattiesburg through multiple name changes, including Pine Belt Farmers & Artisans Market before its current name was created in 2010. That continuity matters because the market is not described as an occasional special event; it is a recurring Thursday fixture at Main Street and Buschman Street from March through November.

The market also frames itself around local food and goods in downtown Hattiesburg. Its vendor roster spans farms, homesteads, nurseries, bakers, food vendors, and makers, which keeps the market grounded in small-scale sellers rather than a single product type. Support from Downtown Hattiesburg Association reinforces that downtown connection as part of the market’s operating identity.

What you'll find there

The vendor mix leans broad rather than narrow: farms and produce stands sit alongside flowers, mushrooms, baked goods, wellness items, bath products, and hot food vendors. That makes this a market where a produce run can easily turn into a dinner, dessert, or household-goods stop in the same walk.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is one of the clearest visitor rules to plan around before heading downtown. The market sets up at Main Street and Buschman Street in Town Square Park, so using that intersection is the simplest way to navigate there. Market rules also call for handicap spots to remain open for handicapped customers, an important note for both drivers and vendors using the surrounding parking area.

For logistics or vendor questions, the market lists Hayley Dews Leff as market manager and provides a phone number and email contact. The market also promotes a newsletter for updates on current produce, items, and events.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at Hattiesburg Farmers Market, which can shape how shoppers plan a produce run here. Payment details are presented clearly enough on the market’s own materials that card and benefit access are part of the visitor-facing setup rather than an afterthought.
