The Bellevue Farmers Market Guide.
Every Thursday from late May through early October, the lot at Bellevue Presbyterian fills with just-picked produce, Washington-raised meats and seafood, fresh flowers, and artisan goods — everything grown or made locally. The 2026 season (May 21 – October 1) has wrapped and 2027 dates aren’t announced yet, though the market traditionally opens the third Thursday of May. Next up: a Saturday market on November 21. Your guide to dates, hours, parking, payments, and what to buy.
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 — ran Thursdays from May 21 through October 1 and added Saturday markets for the first time: a downtown pilot on August 8, a Halloween Harvest Market on October 31, and a pre-Thanksgiving market on Saturday, November 21 (10 a.m.–3 p.m.) that also hosts the first Youth Maker Market, with vendors ages 8–17. 2027 dates haven’t been announced; the market traditionally opens the third Thursday of May. We update this page as the schedule evolves.
What You’ll Find
Every vendor grows, raises, or makes what they sell — the lineup moves with the seasons.
Seasonal Produce
Berries, stone fruit, leafy greens, tomatoes, corn, squash, and whatever the week’s harvest brings — the reason to come back every Thursday.
Meat & Seafood
Sustainably raised Washington meats and fresh local seafood, sold by the people who raised and caught them.
Fresh Flowers
Seasonal bouquets and bunches from local growers — the classic market exit purchase.
Artisan Foods
Cheeses, honey, jams, baked goods, and pantry staples from regional producers.
Ready-to-Eat
Prepared dishes and treats to enjoy on-site while the live music plays — the market doubles as a Thursday dinner plan.
Handmade Goods
Crafts and gifts from regional makers, alongside family activities and a relaxed community vibe.
