McMinnville Downtown Farmers Market
Join us for an afternoon at the McMinnville Downtown Farmers Market, a weekly celebration of Willamette Valley food and craft, held along Cowls Street next to City Hall in the heart of downtown McMinnville. Every Thursday, May through October, more than 60 local vendors bring fresh seasonal produce, farm-raised meats, cut flowers, and handmade goods to market for a summer tradition that draws neighbors and visitors from across Yamhill County. It is more than a place to shop. It is a weekly gathering that supports local farms and makers and keeps downtown lively through the warm months. Join the perfect event for locals, tourists, and celebrate what McMinnville has to offer.
This is a bustling open-air market spread across downtown streets and sidewalks. Planning ahead makes the visit more comfortable, especially in the summer sun and for guests who prefer a slower pace or need to manage time on their feet. As always, visit the Farmers Market information to confirm dates and times for any changes.
