Over the weekend, people take their time to engage in a wide array of activities and events. They can indulge in their favorite hobbies like baking, drawing, or gardening, finish up some work left over from the week, or simply laze around to enjoy their weekend. The Lexington Farmers Market provides a whole new way to make your weekend a little better! From delightful artisanal goods like hand-crafted wares to delectable baked goods, the Farmer’s Market offers a little something for everyone. Every Saturday from 8am to 12pm, the Lexington Farmers Summer Market is waiting for you to explore at 129 S. Railroad Street!
With the summer heat setting in, you might be looking for a new haven from the heat. Somewhere you can settle down, grab a cold drink, and truly bask in the summer sun.

If you are looking for something to take home instead, there are plenty of other vendors with something for you! From homesteads to bakeries, there is something for everyone at the Summer Market.
