WEST PALM BEACH, FL — The West Palm Beach GreenMarket is celebrating its 30th Anniversary season with more than 130 vendors — the largest in its history! The famed seasonal event, routinely ranked as one of the best farmers markets in the country by USA TODAY 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards, is officially returning on Saturday, Oct. 5, with a fresh new theme: “Seasoned to Perfection,” a nod to the Market’s mix of unique and diverse offerings in food, art, entertainment, and more!  

Date: Saturday, Oct. 5 

Time: 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. 

Location: The Great Lawn (100 N. Clematis Street) 

Schedule: Saturdays, Oct. 5, 2024 – April 19, 2025 (except March 22, 2025, due to the Palm Beach International Boat Show) 

“The unmatched success of our West Palm Beach GreenMarket is a direct result of a decades-long collaboration between the City and our local community,” said West Palm Beach Mayor Keith A. James. “I am proud of our amazing Community Events team for creating a leading and nationally recognized seasonal GreenMarket that’s more than just a place to shop; it’s a unifying community experience. I am equally appreciative to all others involved, including our vendors, sponsors, and patrons, who are integral to the GreenMarket’s success. Cheers to 30 years!”  

Every season, the GreenMarket features a variety of fresh produce, baked goods, coffees, teas, plants, specialty items, including vegan options, and more. With an average Saturday at the GreenMarket drawing approximately 7,000 – 10,000 visitors, the Market has evolved from a simple local shopping experience back in the ’90s to a flourishing top weekend destination — and we can’t wait to see how many people will enjoy this year’s massive line-up of vendors!  

The Master Chef Showcase competition, featuring local chefs and vendors, will also return this season — but with a twist! Limited tickets will be sold for a special culinary experience where attendees can sample the famed Master Chef Showcase dishes! The Showcase will occur every second Saturday of the month until the end of the season. 

The GreenMarket will also feature 16 new vendors, including -4 Degrees Café, Atlantic Crab and Seafood, Bearing Fruit Tropicals, Celo’s Bread Basket, Funky Donkey Burritos, Jupiter Donuts, KONES, Linny’s Cinnamon Sugar Loaf, Pizza Mike, Produce Buddies, Quail Quest, Worthy Family Farms, Rick’s Banana Whips, Rollup NYC, Solchiki, and Sweet Lady J Cookies! 

“The return of the West Palm Beach GreenMarket is always a special time of year,” said Mary Pinak, West Palm Beach Community Events Manager, who has been involved with the GreenMarket since its inception. “This year is extra exciting, given it is our 30th Anniversary. So, I encourage you to spice up your Saturdays and join us this season.”

Partners and sponsors to date include Land Rover Palm Beach, Joe DiMaggio Children’s Health Specialty Center, Florida Blue, Paradise Exteriors Impact Windows, Doors & Roofing, Nordic Tree Water, Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections, AYR Florida, SUNNY 107.9, NEW COUNTRY 103.1, WPBF 25 News, WPB Magazine, The Palm Beach Post, West Palm Beach Food Tours, West Palm Beach Community Redevelopment Agency and WPB Downtown Development Authority.
