Cedar Rapids Downtown Farmers' Market
The Cedar Rapids Downtown Farmers’ Market, presented by Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust, has become one of the largest open-air markets in the Midwest. The event is produced by the Economic Alliance and averages 14,000 patrons per market. The event features nearly 200 local Iowa vendors offering an array of products from fresh produce and flowers to meats and artisan gifts.
NEW in 2019: Based on feedback from our members, patrons and vendors, the final Downtown Farmers' Market date will happen later than in years past. We heard from you that apples, cider, gourds, pumpkins and other fall produce was sought-after, so we've adjusted this date to better accommodate the growing season. A later September date means more fall-themed goods and fall crafts!
Become a Vendor
Vendor applications opened January 7. The 2019 Vendor Handbook is now available to review. Anyone wanting to become a vendor in the 2019 Farmers' Market must review the handbook before applying.

Thank you to our presenting sponsor, Cedar Rapids Bank & Trust!
