Looking for farmers markets in Redmond? This Eastside city has a long-running Saturday market showcasing the Pacific Northwest’s renowned produce and berries. This local guide covers Redmond’s farmers markets, what to buy, when to go by season, and how to find the freshest, most current details from people who shop them every week.

Redmond’s farmers markets

The Redmond Saturday Market — one of the oldest in the region — runs in the warmer months, bringing local farms, food vendors, and makers to town. It’s a beloved community gathering, and nearby Eastside markets add more options.

What to buy at Redmond farmers markets

Expect the Pacific Northwest’s outstanding berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries), apples and stone fruit, fresh vegetables, gorgeous flowers, local honey and cheese, and often fresh Washington seafood and artisan breads.

Seasons & when to go

Pacific Northwest markets are seasonal, running roughly late spring through fall — early summer brings berries, late summer peaks with tomatoes and corn, and fall offers apples and squash. The berries are a special highlight. To pair a market run with a walk, see our guide to the best parks in Redmond.

What to know about Redmond farmers markets

The Redmond Saturday Market is a community-friendly seasonal outing — check current dates and hours. Downtown Redmond is walkable; the famous Northwest berries sell out fast, so go early in berry season.

Getting the most out of Redmond

Each market has its own rhythm, vendors, and best-early hours worth learning. If you are planning a morning at the market in Redmond, it helps to build it around the parts of town you already love. Spots like Marymoor Park and the Redmond Central Connector trail anchor the areas locals gravitate to, and the best plans tend to pair one of those with a stop from this guide. Neighbors also point to the Sammamish River Trail when they want something a little quieter or off the usual path. Knowing those anchors makes it far easier to line up a morning at the market that actually fits the day you have in mind, whether you have a couple of free hours or a whole afternoon in Redmond.

⚠️ Two things to get right before you go

This page opens with corrections because both of the common assumptions about Redmond’s market are wrong.

1. It is not at Redmond Town Center. A great many people search for a “Redmond Town Center farmers market”, and there are historical references to a Town Center location — but the Redmond Saturday Market is at 9900 Willows Road NE, in the Overlake Christian Church parking lot. Turning up at Redmond Town Center on a Saturday expecting a market is the single most common mistake here.

2. Make sure you mean Redmond, Washington. There is a Redmond in Oregon with its own farmers market, and it appears in search results for the same terms. Add “WA” to every search.

The Redmond Saturday Market

Location: 9900 Willows Road NE, Redmond, WA 98052.

Hours: 9am to 2pm.

Season: from the second Saturday of May through the last Saturday of October — this is a seasonal market, not a year-round one, which is normal for the Pacific Northwest and different from California markets that run every week of the year.

🔴 An important caveat, stated plainly: signals about the market’s current status conflict. One listing shows it as temporarily closed while other sources describe it as operating. We are not going to assert that it is running. Confirm directly before travelling — a wasted Saturday morning is exactly the failure this page exists to prevent.

What to expect from a Pacific Northwest market

The seasonal May-to-October window is not an accident. Unlike California, where markets run year-round on a continuous growing season, Washington’s produce calendar is genuinely seasonal — which makes the season that does run more concentrated and, arguably, more rewarding.

May and June: greens, asparagus, rhubarb, and the very short and very good local strawberry window.

July and August: the peak — Washington stone fruit, cherries, raspberries and blueberries, alongside the first tomatoes and corn. This is the best month or two of the entire year to shop here.

September and October: apples and pears in real variety, squash, roots and late tomatoes, in what is often the region’s most pleasant weather.

November to April: the market is closed. Winter shopping here means grocers rather than stalls.

How to shop it well

Go early. A 9am to 2pm market is at its best in the first couple of hours, and the last half hour is packing up.

Walk the whole thing first. Two vendors selling the same crop at different prices and quality is entirely normal.

Bring bags and some cash. Most vendors take cards; the one that does not is invariably the one with the thing you want.

Prioritise the peak. If you only go a few times a year, go in July or August — Washington stone fruit and berries are what this region genuinely does better than almost anywhere.

Confirm before travelling, given the conflicting status signals above.

Making a morning of it

Pair the market with the rest of the city. Marymoor Park is 640 acres with the only velodrome in Washington and a 40-acre off-leash dog park. Redmond Town Center has the city’s best dining, and Downtown Redmond station opened in May 2025, which makes a car-free Redmond day genuinely possible for the first time.

For a market morning specifically, the practical shape is: market at nine, Marymoor afterwards, and lunch at Town Center. That is a good Saturday in this city.

Why the Town Center confusion persists

It is worth understanding rather than just correcting, because the same pattern shows up in other cities.

Search demand follows habit, not addresses. If a market was once at a prominent location, people keep searching for it there long after it has moved — and because that search term has volume, content sites keep publishing pages built around the old association rather than the current fact. The error propagates because it matches what people type.

Redmond Town Center is also simply the most recognisable location in the city, so it is the default guess for anyone who knows a market exists but not where. Between the two, “Redmond Town Center farmers market” persists as a query for a market that is on Willows Road.

The practical lesson for a reader is broader than this one market: check the address on any market listing before travelling, particularly a seasonal one, and particularly where a city has a well-known central location that attracts assumptions.

Winter, and where to shop instead

Because the market closes from November through April, half the year here has no farmers market at all. That is normal for the region and worth planning around rather than being surprised by.

Out of season, the Eastside’s international grocers are the genuinely interesting alternative — Redmond’s large South Asian and East Asian communities support specialist grocery shopping that is considerably better than a suburb of this size would normally sustain, and it runs all year. See the restaurants guide for the same pattern in the city’s dining.

The short version

Redmond Saturday Market: 9900 Willows Road NE — not Redmond Town Center.

9am to 2pm, second Saturday of May through the last Saturday of October.

Seasonal, not year-round — closed November to April.

Confirm current status before travelling; signals conflict.

Add “WA” to every search — Redmond, Oregon has its own market.

Go in July or August if you only go once, for Washington stone fruit and berries.
