Maple Valley Farmers' Market

Manage My Market sits at the center of how Maple Valley Farmers' Market runs its vendor applications and communications, a practical detail that points to an organized market entering its 18th season. The market sets up on consecutive Saturdays from May through October at the Maple Valley Legacy Site, giving Maple Valley a steady weekly market day rather than a one-off event series. Its own invitation is aimed at people in Maple Valley and surrounding communities who care about supporting local businesses, local farming, and sustainable living, which places the market squarely in the everyday life of the area.

Why it matters locally

Maple Valley Farmers' Market explicitly calls on people in Maple Valley and the surrounding communities to join in around community, local businesses, local farming, and sustainable living. That statement gives the market a clear local role: it is not framed as an occasional shopping stop, but as a recurring Saturday place tied to the values of the area.

The market's long run also matters here. Its 18th season begins Saturday, May 2, 2026, and continues on consecutive Saturdays through October at the Maple Valley Legacy Site. On the operations side, the use of Manage My Market for vendor applications and communications suggests a formal system for bringing sellers into that weekly rhythm. Public virtual meetings on the third Thursday of each month add another local touchpoint beyond shopping hours.

What you'll find there

This market's published materials emphasize how vendors join and operate rather than spotlighting individual farms or prepared-food sellers, so the clearest picture is of a structured Saturday market with defined rules and an active application process. The mix is shaped through the market's vendor guide and application system.

• -Prospective vendors apply through Manage My Market, which the market uses for applications and communications.
• -Sellers are expected to review the full 2026 Vendor Guide and agree to follow market rules before applying.

The market season itself is the main recurring event: it runs on consecutive Saturdays from May 2 through October 31, 2026, at the Maple Valley Legacy Site. Public virtual meetings are also held on the third Thursday of each month beginning at 7 PM.

Know before you go

Restrooms are not available, so that is the detail most likely to affect how you plan a longer visit. The market is held at 25700 Maple Valley Black Diamond Road at the Maple Valley Legacy Site, and it runs on Saturdays from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm during the May-through-October season. Dogs are welcome, which makes it easier to fold a market stop into a walk or other weekend errands.

If you're thinking about the market from the seller side as well as the shopper side, the operation is structured: vendors are directed to a formal guide and apply through Manage My Market. The market also holds public virtual meetings on the third Thursday of each month at 7 PM, a useful detail for anyone interested in its ongoing operations.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at Maple Valley Farmers' Market, an important option for shoppers planning to use nutrition benefits during the Saturday season. The market also indicates that payment information is clearly presented, which helps set expectations before you arrive.
