Getting There & Parking
We offer free parking in the market lot during Wednesday market, on Saturdays in winter, and as space is available on Saturdays year-round.
There are several public parking lots and garages within walking distance of the market. Parking garages are located at Ann and Ashley, and Fourth and Washington streets. Metered parking is available at the Community High School lot on Fifth Ave, parking lots located at Fourth and Catherine (temporarily unavailable due to construction), Ann and Main, and First and Huron streets.
You'll also find bike racks on Fourth Ave, Fifth Ave, and Detroit Street, in addition to a seasonal bike corral on Fifth Ave in front of Sweetwaters Cafe in the Kerrytown Shops.
The market is four blocks from Blake Transit Center (stops for routes 3, 4, 5, 6, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, and 34).
Market Office Demolition
In 2023, structural issues were identified in the pavement near the northeast corner of the Farmers Market office building. A forensic investigation revealed significant foundation failure, compromising the safety and integrity of the structure for long-term use. To protect the health and safety of market staff, vendors, and the public, the decision was made to demolish the office building. The demolition was completed during the summer of 2025.
While the demolition of the office building is unplanned, the community has been presented with a unique opportunity to re-envision the future of the farmers market. Following the demolition of the market office building, the City of Ann Arbor will embark on a study of the market, looking holistically at the farmers market site, allowing it to plan and make decisions that will support the future of the farmers market. The study will involve extensive community engagement, considering the needs and wants of the community, market vendors and stakeholders.

Applying to be an Ann Arbor Farmers Market Vendor
We are not currently accepting vendors for the remainder of 2025. We also do not have a waitlist and do not take new vendors for market day cancellations.
Our 2026 application should open in early January, and the Ann Arbor Farmers Market welcomes farms, food and beverage producers, and artisans to apply. All applicants must grow, produce, or make their products to be considered. We have very limited space for non-food artisans and value-added sweet treats, so those categories are very competitive. We give priority to vendors who will be with us regularly and we especially encourage applications for these product categories:
-
Fruit
-
Native Plants
-
Vegetables
-
Nuts
-
Plant-Based Prepared Food
Prior to completing an application, please read the 2025 Applicant FAQs. The FAQs contain important info about the application process, fees, and licensing requirements. Learn more about our policy for CBD Cannabis Products at the Market.
Public Market Advisory Commission
The Public Market Advisory Commission (PMAC) serves in an advisory capacity for the benefit of the market. PMAC is currently made up of two market vendors, two regular customers, and one neighborhood representative. Commission meetings are held at 5:30 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month. All regular meetings and work sessions are open to the public and will take place virtually in 2025 with the exception of up to four meetings that will take place in person on the dates chosen by PMAC members. The latest meeting agendas and minutes, as well as the video recordings of previous PMAC meetings, are all available online.
