Forest Hills Farmers Market

Managed by the Late Bloomers Garden Club, Forest Hills Farmers Market brings a neighborhood-run Friday market to Pittsburgh’s eastern side with a season that starts May 22 and runs through October. The market sets up at the Forest Hills Westinghouse Lodge Parking Lot, just off Greensburg Pike and across from the Borough Building, which makes it easy to place on a first visit. Its vendor roster leans food-first, with prepared dishes, farm products, flowers, coffee, wine, creamery goods, and smoked meats all named among current sellers.

Why it matters locally

Supporting local farmers and vendors has been central to this market for more than 20 years, a long run that ties the Friday setup to Forest Hills’ own shopping habits rather than a short seasonal pop-up. The market’s organizers frame local farmers as an important community asset and connect local purchasing directly to the local economy. They also emphasize the shorter path between harvest and table, pointing to fewer steps between the food purchased and the food served at home. That focus fits the market’s own vendor pitch as well: it highlights eager customers, visibility on Greensburg Pike, and outreach through Facebook, Instagram, church bulletins, and local papers.

What you'll find there

The vendor mix here reads like a dinner-hour market rather than a produce-only stop, with several prepared-food names alongside farm, dairy, flower, coffee, wine, and meat vendors. That makes the Friday window feel built for picking up ingredients, a drink, and something ready to eat in one pass through the lot.

The calendar keeps the market on a steady Friday rhythm, with opening day set for May 22, 2026 and additional market dates listed through June and into July. Friday from 4 to 7 pm shapes the feel of this market as much as the vendor list does: it lands after the workday, in the Forest Hills Westinghouse Lodge Parking Lot, with food vendors and farm sellers gathered in a place meant to be easy to pull into and easy to spot from Greensburg Pike. The market’s own language stays close to the practical side of local food, stressing fewer steps between harvest and table and thanking patrons for supporting farmers and vendors. That same tone carries into the setup around the market, where visible advertising on Greensburg Pike, social channels, church bulletins, and local papers suggests a market woven into ordinary weekly routines rather than treated as a one-off outing.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the detail most likely to change your plan before heading over. The market takes place in the Forest Hills Westinghouse Lodge Parking Lot at 1840 Ardmore Blvd, just off Greensburg Pike and across from the Borough Building, with a large, safe parking area called out by the market itself. Restrooms are not available. If you are mapping a first visit, the Friday 4 pm to 7 pm window is the core orientation detail, and the market is seasonal from May through October rather than year-round.
