Each year, we host over 90 vendors at our markets, including many farms located 5-15 miles from downtown Tacoma in the Puyallup River Valley. We showcase locally-grown fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, eggs, and seafood and locally-sourced, value-added products. We also host artisan-quality crafters and local hot food vendors, prioritizing those that use locally-sourced foods and materials.
Are you a farmer or small business owner? Do you have a great idea for a product and want to share it with Tacoma? Are you a musician or do you represent a nonprofit organization that wants to get its message out? Consider joining our market family at our 2017 markets, which include:
- Broadway Farmers Market—Thursdays, 10 a.m.–3 p.m., May through August | Thursdays, 10 a.m.–2 p.m., Sep through Oct
- Eastside Farmers Market—Tuesdays, 3 p.m.–7 p.m., June through August
- Point Ruston Farmers Market—Sundays, 10 a.m.–3 p.m., June through September
We strongly encourage vendors who sell meat, eggs, mushrooms, seafood, cheese, breads and baked goods, jams and sauces, and beer and wine to apply to all of our markets.
