Maple Grove Farmers Market

Food and fun are in abundance Every Thursday from mid-June through late October outside at the Maple Grove Community Center (12951 Weaver Lake Road).

50+ vendors offering fresh produce, flowers, plants, baked goods, eggs, meat and dairy products, cheese, breads, syrups, sauces, jams, honey, candies, and much more!

In addition, enjoy ready to eat foods like: pork sandwiches, ice cream, kettle corn, and a variety of snack items and beverages. Tables and chairs are located throughout the Market to enhance your visit—whether you want to grab a quick bite to eat, chat with family and friends for a while, or just enjoy the sunshine.

With such a great line up of food products, we also have a great line up of entertainment – kid’s activities, weekly storytime, chef demos, music, magic, master gardeners, nature programs and onsite playground. We want you to have such a good time that you tell your friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers that the Maple Grove Farmers Market can’t be missed!
