Grab your reusable bags, bring the family (and the dog — most are pet-friendly!), and discover why farmers markets have become a beloved weekend tradition across Palm Beach County.

West Palm Beach GreenMarket: Award-Winning Waterfront Experience

The crown jewel of Palm Beach County's farmers markets, the West Palm Beach GreenMarket has been named the #1 or #2 Best Farmer's Market in America by USA Today multiple years running. Now in its 31st season, this waterfront market brings together over 130 vendors — the largest in Palm Beach County — creating a vibrant Saturday morning experience that draws locals and tourists alike.

Located along the scenic Intracoastal Waterway, the market sprawls across Centennial Square where palm trees sway in the ocean breeze and boats cruise by in the background. You'll find everything from farm-fresh produce from local growers like Swank Specialty Produce and Gratitude Garden to artisan bakers (including crowd favorites Bread by Johnny and La Gringuita's famous stuffed cookies), specialty coffee roasters, gourmet cheese vendors, and countless ready-to-eat foods perfect for breakfast or lunch.

What Makes It Special: The unbeatable waterfront location combined with the sheer variety of vendors makes this market feel like a weekly celebration. Live music fills the air, the energy is electric, and you can easily spend hours browsing while enjoying the beautiful South Florida weather. Many vendors sell out early, so arriving when gates open at 8:30am is recommended.

Why Your Neighbors Love It: "This is the Saturday morning destination in Palm Beach County. The quality and variety of vendors is unmatched, the waterfront setting is gorgeous, and there's always something new to discover. We make it a weekly tradition — grab coffee, browse the vendors, and enjoy live music with the best people-watching in town."

Royal Palm Beach Green Market & Bazaar: A Lakeside Gem with a Twist

The Royal Palm Beach Green Market & Bazaar lives up to its name by offering "a Bazaar twist to your traditional Green Market." Set lakeside at Village Hall, this beautifully tranquil market features 80 vendors and boasts the highest traffic count of any green market in Palm Beach County — over 43,500 vehicles per day pass by its prominent location at Okeechobee and Royal Palm Beach boulevards.

What sets this market apart is the "bazaar" element — beyond the expected fresh produce, organic products, seafood, honey, and baked goods, you'll discover artists and crafters selling handmade jewelry, unique handicrafts, and one-of-a-kind items you won't find at typical farmers markets. Food trucks and gourmet food vendors add to the festive atmosphere, making it easy to grab breakfast or lunch while you shop.

What Makes It Special: The lakeside setting provides a peaceful backdrop for your Saturday morning stroll, with plenty of room to spread out and easy access from the main roads. The combination of traditional market vendors and artisan bazaar elements creates a unique shopping experience, and the pet-friendly atmosphere means your four-legged family members are welcome to join the fun.

Why Your Neighbors Love It: "The lakeside location is gorgeous, and I love that it's not just produce — you can find amazing handmade gifts, jewelry, and crafts alongside your fresh vegetables. The food trucks are always a highlight, and the atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly. It's become our Saturday morning ritual."

The Gardens GreenMarket: Year-Round Family Favorite

The Gardens GreenMarket stands out as one of the largest and most family-friendly markets in Palm Beach County, featuring over 140 vendors and operating year-round every Sunday at the Palm Beach Gardens City Hall campus. This impressive market has built a loyal following thanks to its combination of quality vendors, convenient location, and family-oriented atmosphere.

You'll find an exceptional variety of farm-fresh produce, local honey, artisan baked goods, fresh herbs, specialty cheeses, beautiful orchids and plants, plus seasonal items like holiday crafts. The ready-to-eat food options make it perfect for grabbing breakfast or brunch while you shop, and live music creates a festive ambiance as you browse.

What Makes It Special: The market's location adjacent to the city playground and batting cages makes it ideal for families — kids can play while parents shop, or the whole family can enjoy the market together. Operating year-round means you can make it a consistent Sunday morning tradition without the seasonal breaks many markets take during Florida's hot summer months.

Why Your Neighbors Love It: "The Gardens GreenMarket is our family's Sunday morning tradition. The kids love the playground, we love the incredible selection of vendors, and everyone enjoys the live music and breakfast options. Being year-round means we never have to break the tradition, even in summer."

Delray Beach GreenMarket: Historic Charm Meets Fresh Flavors

Celebrating its 30th anniversary season, the Delray Beach GreenMarket has become one of the most popular and charming fixtures of downtown Delray Beach. Established in 1996 by the Community Redevelopment Agency, this historic market at Old School Square brings together over 70 premier vendors in the heart of one of South Florida's most beloved downtown areas.

Located just a half block north of Atlantic Avenue, the market offers farm-to-fork produce, just-picked citrus and tropical fruits, farm-fresh eggs, artisan cheese and jams, fragrant baked goods, and plenty of gluten-free, vegan, and organic products. Fresh-cut flowers and plants add color to the experience, while gourmet fare keeps you energized as you shop.

What Makes It Special: The Pavilion Bar serves Bloody Marys, mimosas, and craft beer, making this market perfect for a leisurely Saturday morning that feels like a social event.

Lakeside Market at Wellington Town Center: Thursday Night Food Truck Festival

Unlike any other farmers market in Palm Beach County, the Lakeside Market takes place on Thursday evenings in a unique combination with Wellington's popular Food Truck & Music Series. This isn't your typical Saturday morning market — it's an evening community celebration where shopping, dining, and entertainment come together in one family-friendly lakeside experience.

Over 40 market vendors set up alongside 18 food trucks, offering everything from handcrafted goods, homemade desserts and pastries, sauces, honey, and jewelry to fresh produce and unique gifts. Starting at 6:30pm, live local tribute bands and artists perform from the amphitheater stage, creating a festive atmosphere perfect for kicking off your weekend early.
