Fairmount Farmers Market

The Fairmount Farmers Market sits at 22nd Street and Fairmount Avenue, directly across from Eastern State Penitentiary. The Food Trust says the market began in 2004 and is part of a growing retail corridor in Fairmount. It is a weekday stop that can fit between neighborhood errands rather than a weekend-only outing.

The market operates year-round on Thursdays. The official page lists 3–7 p.m. but posts a specific change beginning November 5, 2026: new hours will be 2–5 p.m. SEPTA routes 7, 32, 33, 48 and PHLASH are listed for the area. Vendors may bring produce, poultry and eggs, baked goods, honey, cheese, cut flowers, coffee, wine and spirits. Cash, SNAP/EBT/P-EBT, Food Bucks, and WIC and Senior FMNP vouchers are accepted; most sellers also take cards. Because the current site displays both the standing hours and the upcoming shift, use the date-specific time above when planning.
