West Palm Beach Green Market

After witnessing firsthand the success of the public markets of Italy and Europe, a former Mayor, authorized the City's Community Events staff to create a public market in West Palm Beach. Work was begun determining the feasibility of a public market, and in October, 1994, the West Palm Beach Greenmarket launched its first season.

With over 60 vendors the Greenmarket represents hundreds of acres of local farm land. The past 11 years have shown a steady growth of an idea that survived because it met the needs of both consumers and farmers. Small family farmers, who willingly made the sacrifices required to live on the land, found eager consumers among those who were dissatisfied with mass-produced food. Over time, a trust developed between these two groups, based on a history of wholesome products and honest dealings.

Each Saturday vendors offer a variety of farm fresh fruits and vegetables, tropical and native plants, fresh-cut flowers, artisan foods, and much more from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at our new home on the Waterfront Commons in Downtown West Palm Beach. Guests can also sit and enjoy breakfast or lunch while taking in the sights and sounds of the new Waterfront. The West Palm Beach GreenMarket is dog-friendly, and offers free parking in the Banyan Street Garage until 2:00 pm.
