Fishers Farmers Market opens Saturday with larger footprint, new vendors

The Fishers Farmers Market returns this Saturday, May 2, with its largest footprint to date and more than two dozen new vendors, according to Fishers Parks.

The market, presented by IU Health, runs from 8 a.m. to noon each Saturday through September at the Nickel Plate District Amphitheater, 6 Municipal Drive. City officials say the 2026 season features a reimagined layout surrounding the AMP designed to make it easier for visitors to navigate and discover vendors.

More than 90 Indiana vendors are expected this season, offering fresh produce, baked goods, meats, specialty foods, plants, coffee and artisan items.

New this year is the Fishers Farmers Market Breezeway Café, located near the Fishers Municipal Center. The space will offer coffee, pastries and additional seating for visitors to gather and enjoy their purchases.

Opening day will also include the annual “Hope for Happiness” event, marking the start of Mental Health Awareness Month. The event is held in partnership with Hamilton Southeastern High School’s Bring Change to Mind clubs and the Fishers Health Department as part of the city’s StigmaFree Fishers initiative. Activities will include creating glitter stress jars, decorating mindfulness journals and other hands-on experiences focused on well-being.

In addition to shopping, the market offers weekly programming, including free community yoga from 8 to 9 a.m., live music from 10 a.m. to noon and children’s activities through the Fishers Parks “Kids Zone.”

Several themed days are scheduled throughout the season, including Sustainability Day (May 9), Thrift-a-Thon events (May 23, July 25 and September 26), the Biz Kidz Festival (June 20), Accessibility and Inclusion Day (July 11), Health and Wellness Day (August 1), Safety Day (August 22), Day of Service (August 29) and Club Day (September 19).

Fishers Parks Director Marissa Deckert said the expansion is aimed at enhancing both the shopping experience and the community atmosphere.

Free parking is available throughout the Nickel Plate District, including nearby garages and surface lots. A full vendor list and market map can be found at FishersParks.com/FarmersMarket.
