Market Information

The 61st Street Farmers Market takes place every Saturday—rain or shine—from mid-May through mid-December, from 9am-2pm. During the outdoor season, which lasts through the end of October, the Market is located on 61st Street between Dorchester and Blackstone Avenues. In November and December, the Market goes indoors at the Experimental Station. Entry is on Blackstone Avenue.

The 61st Street Farmers Market accepts LINK and Senior Farmers Market Coupons. We also match LINK purchases up to $25 per cardholder, per market day, as long as funding lasts. This means that LINK cardholders can double the value of their LINK purchases each week at the Market.

The 2011 Indoor Market begins: Nov. 5
The 2011 Season ends: Dec. 17
