The Nicollet Mall Farmers Market

I believe one of the most commonly well known farmers markets in the Minneapolis metro area would be the one on Nicollet Mall.

Location:
The Nicollet Mall farmers market is located on Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis and it begins at 5th Street and continues all the way up to 12th Street. For a map of directions, click here.


Hours of Operation:
The Nicollet Mall market is open every Thursday from May - November from 6am to 6pm.

Best Time To

Visit:
If your intentions are to beat the crowds, then the earlier you arrive, the better. Lunch time is usually the busiest, it's filled with working professionals trying to get some sun along the mall on their lunch breaks. However, there is a period of downtime in the afternoon after everyone has gone home. 

Weather:
Farmers are used to working in all kinds of weather conditions, so usually a little rain won't scare them away. 


Parking:
The Nicollet Mall Market is not able to offer free parking so you will have to rely on local area ramps or street parking. This market is convenient if you work downtown and stop before going home but if you are coming down just for the market, your best bet may be to take public transit.

Products & Vendors:
The Nicollet Market has up to 60 vendors that sell everything from fresh fruit and veggies to honey and homemade bread. For a specific list of what's in season, click here.
