Troy Waterfront Farmers Market

Troy Waterfront Farmers Market centers its mission on operating a producer-only, year-round, independent marketplace featuring locally grown food and locally made products. That mission plays out in downtown Troy on Saturdays, with the outdoor market on River Street around Monument Square from May through October and the winter market moving inside the Troy Atrium from November through April. The setting gives the market two distinct seasonal formats while keeping the same weekly rhythm in the city center.

Why it matters locally

River Street, Monument Square, and the Troy Atrium anchor this market in downtown Troy across the full year rather than only during the warm-weather season. Its producer-only mission keeps the focus on locally grown food and locally made products, which is the clearest statement of what the market is trying to do week after week.

The vendor roster shows that emphasis in practice, with farm names, creameries, orchards, bakeries, cider makers, distilleries, and prepared-food businesses all appearing under the same Saturday market banner. The market also runs every Saturday from 9AM to 2PM and features local musicians each Saturday, adding a regular downtown draw beyond shopping alone.

What you'll find there

The Troy vendor list leans wide rather than narrow: farms and orchard stands sit alongside bakeries, cheese makers, drinks, pet treats, and ready-to-eat food, so a Saturday stop can cover both groceries and lunch. The names on the roster point to a market with a strong producer and maker mix rather than a single-category lineup.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is one of the clearest visit rules to plan around. The market runs outdoors on River Street around Monument Square from May through October, then shifts indoors to the Troy Atrium for the winter market from November through April.

Parking options are extensive: the State Street Parking Garage sits next to the outdoor market, the Fifth Ave. Parking Garage is less than one block from the winter market and less than two blocks from the outdoor market, and free weekend parking is available on Troy city streets, lots, and garages. During outdoor season, customers can also use city-owned lots at 401 River St and overflow parking at RPI's Blitman Residence Hall on 6th Avenue during market hours.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at Troy Waterfront Farmers Market. The market also publishes clear payment information for visitors, which is useful at a Saturday market with farms, prepared food vendors, bakeries, and beverage makers all in the mix.
