Ogden Park Farmers Market

Ogden Park Farmers Market is part of the same orbit as Cool Wilmington, one of the organizations linked alongside the market through Riverfront Farmers Market materials. In Wilmington, that gives this Saturday market a distinctly local frame: it sits within a network that also connects to the City of Wilmington, Riverfront Farmers Market Inc., and regional food and business partners rather than standing apart as an isolated pop-up. The market runs at 615 Ogden Park Dr. from April through November, with a weekly Saturday schedule from 8am to 1pm, rain or shine. For shoppers looking for a recurring neighborhood market rather than a one-off event, that combination of a fixed park address and a steady season shapes the visit.

Why it matters locally

Riverfront Farmers Market Inc. and the City of Wilmington are both named in the market’s materials, tying Ogden Park Farmers Market to local civic and organizational infrastructure in Wilmington. That matters because the market is presented through the same framework that also names North Carolina Dept. of Agriculture, NC Dept. Of Revenue, FDA, and Square, placing it inside a practical network of agriculture, regulation, and payment support rather than treating it as an informal roadside setup.

The market’s connection to Edible Port City Magazine also roots it in Wilmington’s food media landscape. A newsletter sign-up specifically for Riverfront Farmers Market extends that local loop, giving regular shoppers a direct way to follow updates through email and social channels. Together, those named partners and communication channels show a market with visible ties to the city’s food system and public-facing local organizations.

What you'll find there

The strongest documented picture here is organizational rather than vendor-specific: Ogden Park Farmers Market is presented as part of the Riverfront Farmers Market operation, with named programs, partners, and seasonal events around it. That means shoppers can expect a market shaped by an established Wilmington market organization, even though individual vendor names are not listed in the published materials provided.

• -Riverfront Farmers Market is the operating market organization named in the market materials.
• -Opening Day is one of the named seasonal market events.
• -River Fest appears in the market’s event listings.
• -An Artisan Application 2026 membership application rotation is also listed among market items.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, and restrooms are not available, two details that can change how long you plan to stay and who comes along. The market operates Saturdays from 8am to 1pm during an April-to-November season, so it is a seasonal stop rather than a year-round routine.

The schedule is described as rain or shine, which makes this a market worth treating as a fixed Saturday plan even when the weather shifts. Payment information is marked as clear in the visit details, and Square is named among the market’s partners, suggesting an organized checkout setup around accepted payment methods. For ongoing updates, the Riverfront Farmers Market newsletter is positioned as the main way to stay current, with email plus Facebook and Instagram called out together.
