Steeped in over 150 years of tradition, the City Market offers shoppers the opportunity to purchase the best of the heartland direct from producers. The City Market has an extensive calendar, hosting concerts, festivals and other special events April through December.

The Farmers' Market itself takes place on Saturdays and Sundays with varying hours depending on the season. In the winter months it takes place Saturdays 7 am - 3 pm and in the warmer months it is 6 am - 3 pm. During all times it is Sunday 8 am - 3 pm. The Community Yard Sale takes place every Sunday 9 am - 3 pm and occasionally on Fridays as well (call ahead). The Farmers' Market and Community Yard sale takes place all year long.
