Dane County Farmers' Market

The Dane County Farmers' Market stands as the largest producer-only farmers' market in the country, earning its reputation as 'The Original Madison Farmers' Market on the Square.' This iconic market operates year-round with multiple locations and schedules to serve the Madison community. The flagship Saturday Market on the Square runs from April 12 through November 8, 2025, from 6:15 AM to 1:45 PM, transforming Madison's Capitol Square into a vibrant marketplace. The Wednesday Market provides a more intimate experience between the Madison Municipal Building and City County Building, operating from April 23 through November 5, 2025, from 8:30 AM to 1:45 PM. Despite the market's impressive size, customers still enjoy face-to-face interactions with the passionate people who sustainably grow their food. The market features local artists, street musicians, and local favorites like Stella's Hot & Spicy Cheese Bread. With its producer-only policy, every vendor grows or produces what they sell, ensuring authentic farm-to-consumer connections and the freshest possible products for Madison residents and visitors.
