Riverfront Farmers Market

Riverfront Farmers Market is set on Dock Street between Second and Water streets in historic downtown Wilmington. The organizer lists Saturdays, 8 a.m.–1 p.m., rain or shine, with free entry. For 2026, the market’s own calendar shows an April 18 start; Wilmington Downtown Inc publishes June 27 as the start of its season dates and November 21 as the final date. Both indicate Saturday activity into late fall, but the start-date conflict makes the organizer’s current weekly notice the safest source for a particular visit.

Published vendors and products include local produce, pasture-raised meats, eggs, honey, coffee, chocolate, bread, muffins, cakes and jams. The location is close to the Cape Fear Riverwalk, downtown shops and restaurants, so the market works as part of a walking visit rather than an isolated farm stop. Use the exact Dock Street block and check weekly vendor notices; the organizer’s rain-or-shine policy does not guarantee every product or vendor appears every week.
