November 2024
WEST PALM BEACH GREENMARKET
Every Saturday through April 19, 2025, from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. (except on March 22, 2025, due to the Palm Beach International Boat Show)
Great Lawn | 100 N. Clematis Street, West Palm Beach, FL 33401
The West Palm Beach GreenMarket is “Seasoned to Perfection” and is celebrating 30 seasons of success!
The famed market, named the “Best Farmers Market” in the U.S. by USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice for three years in a row (in 2021, 2022 and 2023), will open as the largest market in its history with 130+ vendors. Vendors sell various products, including fresh fruits and vegetables, coffees and teas, flowers and plants, homemade specialty items, desserts and treats, and so much more.
The West Palm Beach GreenMarket’s mission is to provide the community with seasonal access to locally grown fresh fruits, vegetables, plants, and agricultural products. The market supports the southeast Florida agricultural community and stimulates agricultural development, particularly in Palm Beach County, by providing an outlet for locally grown crops and specialty products.
In addition to its “Best Farmers Market” ranking, the West Palm Beach GreenMarket has also been featured in The Boston Globe and named the No. 1 greenmarket in Florida by Cooking Light magazine. In 2021, the GreenMarket was recognized by VISIT FLORIDA with a prestigious silver Flagler Award at the tourism marketing cooperative’s annual Florida Governor’s Conference on Tourism.
During the GreenMarket, parking is available in the City’s public garages: Clematis, Banyan, City Center, Sapodilla, and Evernia. The Banyan and Evernia garages are closest to the event and are subject to the City’s all-day weekend flat rate of $5. The City Center, Clematis, and Sapodilla garages will be free during market hours, with current parking rates in effect afterward. Those interested in arriving by boat can also take advantage of the City’s free public docks. The Clematis Street Dock is the closest dock to the market.

November 7: Roots Shakedown (Rock, Roots & Reggae) | Visit Website
Forged under the sun in Palm Beach County, Roots Shakedown is a tropical blend of rhythm and melody beyond the usual definition. The band’s roots can be found on the beach, but their diverse influences have created space for the five-piece to thrive and carve a niche. Combined with their unwavering pursuit to spread a positive message to the masses, the result is a reggae-rock fusion that is too catchy for its own good.
November 14: Cover to Cover (Rock)
Cover to Cover is a popular and talented rock ‘n’ roll band playing various hits from the 1950s through the 1990s. The band puts its stamp on songs anywhere from rockabilly, punk, and arena rock to ’80s and ’90s radio hits. Audiences rave that they love the band’s variety, performing songs no one else plays but everybody knows and loves!
