The Cary Farmers Market at Downtown Cary Park is a weekly outdoor market featuring local farmers, food producers, and artisans. Located next to the newly renovated park space, it offers a convenient way to support North Carolina growers while spending a morning outside. What to Know: Admission is free, and you only pay for the items you purchase. The market is situated at 160 East Park Street, where you can find street parking or use the nearby parking deck on Town Hall Campus. Strollers are welcome, and the paved paths make it easy to navigate with toddlers. Bring reusable shopping bags and a water bottle for the kids, as the market area has limited shade during the mid-morning hours. This is an easy addition to your Saturday morning routine because it combines grocery shopping with playtime. You can grab pastries and fresh fruit for a picnic breakfast, then let the kids burn off energy at the park's play areas right after you finish shopping.
You can find free parking along the streets surrounding Downtown Cary Park or use the public parking deck located at 121 Wilkinson Avenue, which is a short walk from the vendors.
Are there activities for children at the market?
While the market itself focuses on local vendors, its location at Downtown Cary Park means you are steps away from the children's play areas, splash pads, and open lawns.
