The West Palm Beach GreenMarket is Like No Other

Join us for the final weeks of our 2022 - 23 GreenMarket, themed "Sweet Success". Now until Saturday, April 15, 2023, the GreenMarket will pop-up on the 200 block on Clematis Street to the Waterfront from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. each Saturday morning.

There is a reason why we were named "Best Farmers Market" in the U.S. two years in a row in the USA Today 10 Best Readers' Choice poll. This year, we have hosted more than 110 fantastic vendors. Our featured vendors are as hard-working as they are kind. Mayor James spent some time getting to know the friendly faces of Jerry's Here Farm Fresh, and Hey Babe Pepe's this past Saturday.

Don't miss your chance to purchase farm fresh, locally grown, produce or freshly homemade salsa and guacamole from Jerry's or taste the smoked brisket grilled cheese that is sure to not disappoint from Pepe's
