Looking for farmers markets in Hollywood? This beach city is home to the Yellow Green Farmers Market — one of the largest farmers markets in Florida. This local guide covers Hollywood’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.

Hollywood’s farmers markets

Hollywood’s standout is the enormous Yellow Green Farmers Market, a weekend destination with hundreds of vendors selling produce, plants, prepared foods, and crafts. Downtown Hollywood and the ArtsPark area also host smaller markets and events with a local, community feel.

What to buy at Hollywood farmers markets

Expect Florida tropical fruit (mangoes, avocados, citrus), fresh vegetables, tropical plants and orchids, local honey, and an enormous variety of prepared foods and international vendors, especially at the sprawling Yellow Green market.

Seasons & when to go

South Florida’s produce and weather peak in the cooler months (roughly late fall through spring). The Yellow Green Farmers Market runs year-round on weekends, making it a reliable destination in any season. To pair a market run with a walk, see our guide to the best parks in Hollywood.

What to know about Hollywood farmers markets

The Yellow Green Farmers Market is huge — go early on a weekend, wear comfortable shoes, and plan to explore. Downtown Hollywood’s smaller markets are walkable. Bring a bag and an appetite for the prepared-food stalls.

Getting the most out of Hollywood

Each market has its own rhythm, vendors, and best-early hours worth learning. If you are planning a morning at the market in Hollywood, it helps to build it around the parts of town you already love. Spots like the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk and ArtsPark at Young Circle 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 North Beach Park 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 Hollywood.

Yellow Green Farmers Market – the reason people drive to Hollywood

Most cities have a farmers market. Hollywood has one of the largest in the southeastern United States, and it is genuinely a destination rather than a Saturday errand. Yellow Green Farmers Market at 1940 N 30th Road is open Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 6:30pm, year-round.

The scale is the thing. The venue holds 600 vendor booths under cover, including more than 200 food and beverage stalls serving cuisines from across the Americas and around the world. Being covered matters enormously in South Florida – this is one of the few outdoor-feeling things you can do here in August without being defeated by the sun or a thunderstorm.

★ The parking tip that saves you money: the North lot is $8 flat, the South lot is $15 flat – and parking is FREE from 5pm. The market runs until 6:30pm, so arriving late in the afternoon gets you ninety minutes of market and free parking. If you are going for dinner and a wander rather than the produce, go at five.

Coffee inside the market: Puro Tinto serves Colombian coffee and Department Coffee does cold brew and market-style service – both worth seeking out. See our coffee guide.

How to actually do Yellow Green

Go early for produce, late for atmosphere. The genuine grocery shopping happens in the first couple of hours; by mid-afternoon it becomes more of a food hall and social scene. Both are good, they are just different visits.

Eat there, do not just shop there. With 200-plus food stalls this is one of the best cheap meals in Broward County, and the variety – Latin American, Caribbean, Middle Eastern, Asian – is far wider than any single restaurant in the city.

Bring cash as a backup and a cooler bag. Card readers are common but not universal across 600 booths, and anything dairy or leafy will suffer in a hot car within minutes.

Ask what is actually local. At a market this size, resold produce sits alongside grown produce, and vendors will tell you straight if you ask.

Weekends only. This catches people out constantly – there is no weekday market here.

What actually grows here, and when

South Florida’s growing calendar is inverted compared with most of the country, and understanding it changes what you buy. The productive season runs from late autumn through spring, because summer heat, humidity and rainfall are too punishing for most crops. So the best local produce is on the tables roughly November through April.

A August visit is not a wasted one – the covered food stalls run year-round and are arguably the main event – but expect the produce side to lean more on imported and regional stock than on local harvest. What is genuinely local and seasonal here includes tropical fruit, avocados, citrus in winter, and the Caribbean and Latin American staples that the mainstream supermarkets barely stock: yuca, malanga, boniato, plantains at several stages of ripeness, and culantro.

Other markets in and around Hollywood

Yellow Green is so dominant that it overshadows everything else, but a few others are worth knowing. Smaller neighbourhood and seasonal markets appear around ArtsPark at Young Circle and downtown through the cooler months, and the beachfront hosts occasional craft and produce events.

⚠️ Two nearby markets are in other cities and should not be confused with Hollywood’s: the market at Las Olas Oceanside Park is in Fort Lauderdale (Saturdays 9am to 4pm and Sundays 10am to 4pm), and the El Prado Park market is in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, a separate municipality, running Sundays from early December to early May. Both are good; neither is Hollywood.

Beyond the markets: where else to buy good food

Hollywood and the surrounding Broward County have a dense network of Latin American and Caribbean grocers that operate all week and carry produce the chain supermarkets do not stock at all. They are open when the market is not, prices are usually better than a market stall, and for anyone new to South Florida they are the fastest way to learn how the region actually cooks. For seafood specifically, Billy’s Stone Crab at 400 N Ocean Dr runs a seafood market alongside its restaurant – see our seafood guide, which also explains why stone crab season, 15 October to 1 May, determines whether the claws are fresh or frozen.

Getting to Yellow Green without the hassle

The market sits inland off Sheridan Street rather than near the beach, which is worth knowing if you are staying on Hollywood Beach – it is a short drive rather than a walk, and rideshare is straightforward. The single biggest mistake visitors make is arriving at noon on a Saturday in high season, when both lots are full and the aisles are at their most crowded. The two comfortable windows are right at the 10am opening, when parking is easy and the produce is untouched, and after 5pm when parking becomes free and the crowd thins into an easy evening wander. Allow at least two hours if you intend to eat as well as shop, because with 600 booths under one roof it is very easy to lose an afternoon here without noticing.
