For the past fourteen years, the Waco Downtown Farmers Market has been the backdrop for countless cherished memories, supporting the birth and growth of local small businesses and fostering a vibrant community spirit. Our Farmers Market supports 80+ vendors annually, generating $2 million+ in local economic impact, and serving thousands of families, including those using SNAP and WIC benefits.

As the Market continues to expand, staffing, programming, and infrastructure costs have increased significantly. A sustainable funding base is now essential to maintain accessibility, safety, and quality of experience for all. We’re excited about the opportunity to work with you to support local businesses while celebrating the community that enriches our city. Your support will help shape the Waco Downtown Farmers Market for the next 15 years.
