Maine Farmers Markets 2026
Maine's farmers markets run from working harbors to inland mill towns, and a few keep going right through the winter. Here's a guide to the 2026 markets we track across the state — where they set up, when they run, and a link to each one.
Bangor Farmers Market
The Bangor Farmers Market, run by the Bangor Farmers' Market, is one of the state's most consistent — Sunday markets nearly every week of the year. The outdoor season runs at Abbot Square in downtown Bangor from early May right through to the end of November; the winter market then moves indoors to Sea Dog Brewing Co., running on alternating Sundays from December into late April.
Midcoast markets
The midcoast has a market in nearly every harbor town:
- Bath Farmers Market — Waterfront Park, from spring through the end of October.
- Rockland Farmers Market — Thursdays at Harbor Park.
- Belfast Farmers Market — at Waterfall Arts.
- Belgrade Lakes Market — running through the summer in the Belgrade Lakes region.
Downeast and Acadia
Near Acadia National Park, the Bar Harbor Eden Farmers Market runs Sundays from May into late October at the YMCA parking lot. Further Downeast, the Machias Valley Farmers Market runs Fridays through the growing season.
Inland and western Maine
- Lewiston Farmers Market — Sundays at the Bates Mill Complex.
- Augusta Farmers Market at Mill Park — Tuesdays at Mill Park in the state capital.
- Rangeley Farmers Market — in the western mountains.
- Sandy River Farmers' Market and the Farmington Saturday Farmers' Market in the Farmington area.
- Orono Farmers Market — Saturdays near the UMaine campus.
Winter and shoulder-season markets
Maine doesn't close up entirely for winter. Bangor's cold-weather dates run indoors at Sea Dog Brewing Co. on alternating Sundays from December through April. The Berwick winter and spring farmers markets have run Sunday dates in downtown Berwick, though no further dates are currently listed. And the Brewer Fall Farmers Market Craft Fair (run by Craftah, LLC) pairs local growers with makers at the Brewer Auditorium on September 19.
Planning your visit
Maine's markets shift with the season — spring greens and fiddleheads, summer berries and shellfish, fall apples and root vegetables. Season-long markets are listed here as a single event page covering the whole run; weekly series that change venue with the season, like Bangor's, are linked to their venue pages, where every upcoming market date at that location appears together. For the current week's hours, check the official market site linked from the listing. Most are free to attend.
Q: Do Maine farmers markets run year-round?
A few do. The Bangor Farmers Market holds Sunday markets nearly every week of the year — outdoors at Abbot Square from May into late November, then indoors at Sea Dog Brewing Co. on alternating Sundays through the winter and into late April. The Brewer Farmers Market Craft Fair also runs shoulder-season dates, and Berwick has held winter and spring Sunday markets. Most coastal and inland markets run spring through fall.
Q: Where are the best coastal farmers markets in Maine?
The midcoast and Downeast are especially rich: Bath at Waterfront Park, Rockland at Harbor Park, Belfast at Waterfall Arts, and the Bar Harbor Eden Farmers Market near Acadia.
Q: Which Maine farmers markets are still running this fall?
Plenty of them. The season-long markets in Bath, Belfast, Rockland, Augusta, Rangeley, Farmington and Lewiston run into late October, Orono into mid-October, and the Bar Harbor Eden Farmers Market near Acadia into late October. Bangor keeps going longest outdoors — Sundays at Abbot Square until the end of November — and the Brewer Fall Farmers Market Craft Fair lands at the Brewer Auditorium on September 19.
