THE FOLLOWING IS A DANVILLE FARMERS MARKET RELEASE
Danville, Ill. — The Danville Farmers Market will open its 2026 summer season on Saturday, May 16, bringing local produce, handmade goods, and community activities back to the city each weekend through the early fall.
The market will operate every Saturday from May 16 through Oct. 3, 2026, from 8 a.m. to noon. It will be located at 2721 N. Vermilion St. in Danville, in the former Kmart parking lot/the DIY Storage lot.
75+ local vendors are expected to participate throughout the season. Shoppers will find a wide range of products including fresh seasonal produce, baked goods, honey, handmade crafts, and other locally produced items. As the growing season progresses, vendors will continue adding new fruits, vegetables, and specialty products.
The market has several new additions for the 2026 season to enhance the visitor experience. These include themed market days, live music, and a new shaded Rest Spot Area where visitors can sit, relax, cool down with water, and visit with friends while enjoying the market atmosphere.
The market’s Loyalty Rewards Program allows shoppers to receive $2 in Farmers Market Bucks when they spend $20 with a vendor. The Farmers Market Bucks can then be used with any vendor at the market.
The Danville Farmers Market also accepts benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) via the LINK program. Through this program, shoppers receive additional incentives to help stretch their food budgets. For instance, for every $10 in LINK benefits used, shoppers receive $10 in tokens and $10 in vouchers. Tokens may be used on any food item except hot foods, while vouchers are designated specifically for fresh produce.
Beyond shopping, the Danville Farmers Market continues to serve as a community gathering place where residents and visitors can meet local farmers, support small businesses and community groups, and enjoy live entertainment.
