The Hot Springs Farmers & Artisans Market is currently closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but hope to reopen mid-May – just in time for produce fresh from the farm to start arriving. In the Market’s years of operation, few Saturdays have been missed, so during this uncertain time, if possible, please continue to patronize our vendors.
The Market is traditionally open all year, and has two seasons – Main Season (May-Oct) and Winter Market (Nov-Apr). During Main Season, hours are 7:00 a.m. until noon on Saturdays, and feature live music by local bands from 9 :00 a.m. until noon. Winter Market hours are 9:00 a.m. until noon on Saturdays.
The Hot Springs Farmers & Artisans Market is located downtown under the Farmers Market pavilion at 121 Orange Street (and Broadway) along the beautiful Greenway Trail in Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas. Founded in the 70s and revived in the 90s, the Market is a jewel in the city’s tourism crown, as well as a place locals like to congregate, eat, and shop each week.
If variety is a spice of life, then the Market is a heavenly bouquet! Shop for fresh meats, eggs, produce, jams and jellies from local farmers, handmade unique gift items from local crafters, original works of art from local artisans, delicious homemade baked goods from local bakers and hand-crafted small batch body products, pet items, one-of-a-kind jewelry, cut flowers, fresh herbs, starter plants, home and lawn décor, and so much more…
