Founded in 2004, the Bellevue Farmers Market has spent more than two decades doing one thing well: connecting the Eastside’s urban core to the small family farms around it. Every vendor sells what they grow, raise, or make — no resellers — so the stalls shift with the Pacific Northwest seasons, from spring greens to summer stone fruit to fall squash. Set just north of downtown at Bellevue Presbyterian Church, it pairs a true neighborhood market with the walkability of the city core, live music and family activities included.

The 2026 season — the market’s 23rd — runs Thursdays from May 21 through October 1, with something new this year: Saturday markets, starting with a downtown pilot on August 8 (10 a.m.–3 p.m.), an October date to be announced, and a pre-Thanksgiving market on Saturday, November 21. We update this page as the schedule evolves.

“Everything sold is grown or made locally — which makes a Thursday at BelPres the best place on the Eastside to eat seasonally and meet the people behind your food.” — DBN Editors

The Stalls

What You’ll Find

Every vendor grows, raises, or makes what they sell — the lineup moves with the seasons.

In Season

Seasonal Produce

Berries, stone fruit, leafy greens, tomatoes, corn, squash, and whatever the week’s harvest brings — the reason to come back every Thursday.

Protein

Meat & Seafood

Sustainably raised Washington meats and fresh local seafood, sold by the people who raised and caught them.

Blooms

Fresh Flowers

Seasonal bouquets and bunches from local growers — the classic market exit purchase.

Pantry

Artisan Foods

Cheeses, honey, jams, baked goods, and pantry staples from regional producers.

Eat Now

Prepared dishes and treats to enjoy on-site while the live music plays — the market doubles as a Thursday dinner plan.

2026 Saturday Markets

New this year alongside the Thursday season: a downtown pilot market on Saturday, August 8 (10 a.m.–3 p.m. at 1717 Bellevue Way NE), a fall Saturday date to be announced for October, and a pre-Thanksgiving market on Saturday, November 21 (10 a.m.–3 p.m.).

SNAP, WIC & Market Match

The market keeps fresh local food accessible: SNAP/EBT is accepted with a dollar-for-dollar Market Match up to $25 per market day, and WIC & Senior FMNP checks and SunBucks are welcome. Start at the information booth, or see the market’s food access page.

Make a Day of It

The Thursday-afternoon timing pairs perfectly with downtown: breakfast & brunch or a coffee shop before, dinner at one of the best restaurants downtown after, and children’s activities nearby if the kids are along.
