Farmers Markets in Lake County

Farmers Market Season 2026

Summer Farmers Market season has begun! Check out and save the 2026 list and enjoy the summer season while supporting local farms, businesses and communities. Some markets have incorporated their summer concert series or have become a mix of craft/artisan or local businesses markets.

Locations: Multiple communities across Lake County, Illinois AND a few special mentions close to Lake County.

Did you know that Farmers markets date back to the 1600s?

The list below is posted by day of the week.

Note: ‍ ‍If there is an error, if I missed one, or a new one pops up, forgive me and please feel free to let me know. I’ll be sure to update as soon as possible. Most markets may operate rain or shine, however, be sure to confirm through their social media pages or village/city websites for updates in days of inclement weather. Thank you!
