Ferguson Farmers' Market

Live Well Events manages Ferguson Farmers' Market, giving this Saturday market a clear event-driven shape that shows up across its season. At Plaza at 501 on South Florissant Road, the market runs from May through October with a calendar that moves from Spirit of St. Louis Kickoff and Salad Fest to Tomato Jam, PawPaw Festival, and Trick or Beet. That mix of named theme days, live music slots, and recurring family programming makes this market feel designed as a weekly outing as much as a produce stop.

Why it matters locally

Plaza at 501 gives Ferguson a regular Saturday market site on S. Florissant Road, with a schedule that stays consistent from 8 a.m. to noon through the May-to-October season. The market describes itself as a source for fresh grocery options, healthy wares, and a family-friendly tradition, and it frames that work specifically within North County.

Its local role also shows up in the weekly programming. Band Day features various local bands, while individual theme dates pair the market with named performers including Anita Rosamond, Leslie Craig, Nick Lampman, Arvell Duo, and the Wurst Bavarian Band. Tiny Sprouts adds a children’s program for ages 3 to 12 with weekly incentives, prizes, swag, and a passport stamped at three stations around the market.

What you'll find there

The strongest throughline here is programming rather than a published vendor-by-vendor product roster. Expect a market built around themed Saturdays, live music, and kid-focused activities woven into the shopping trip.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the detail most likely to change how you plan your Saturday morning. The market is held at Plaza at 501, listed as 501 S. Florissant in Ferguson, and the on-site schedule is Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon during the May-to-October season. Restrooms are not available, so this is a trip worth keeping relatively focused.
