Here’s your 2026 guide to farmers markets throughout Chicago
Chicago has a wealth of farmers markets, but reliable information about them can be scattered across websites and social media. To help, this guide brings together the most current information for farmers markets throughout Chicago. (We broke out 54 suburban markets into its own guide for 2026 .) This list of farmers markets in the city is organized by area, then by day of the week, Monday through Sunday, and alphabetically by market. Each listing includes the 2026 hours and dates of operation, address, links to websites and social accounts, bells and whistles (such as live music and specialty vendors beyond farm produce), and whether the Illinois Link card is accepted. A paw emoji next to the name of a market means pets — dogs on leash is the usual policy — are welcome. (Did we miss your favorite market? Let us know at farmers@wbez.org .)
