YLNI Farmers Market

Great vendors from our community that have everything from fresh produce and baked goods (including gluten free) to organic meat and mushrooms. Crafts include jewelry, ceramics, knitting and other textiles to name a few. Open year round; inside during the cold months and outside in summer. Local musicians add to ambience.

In the Summer this is outside downtown and it’s 2-3 blocks long! (Winter it’s inside) They have 1-2 different live music options, multiple food trucks with breakfast options, tons of local produce, unique handmade items (great gifts!) fresh flowers 🌺 and so much more! You can take kids, strollers and dogs. I recommend getting there at 9 am for the best parking downtown and shorter lines. That said, the lines are typically worth it! ** take a bag to put your goodies in and wear comfortable shoes to walk around in. When you’re finished there you could check out the murals around town or ride a scooter 🛴 fun Saturday in the Fort! Edit: May 2023 they now have pony 🐴 rides!

Excellent choices. Beautiful produce and baked goods. Plenty of nearby parking. Nice layout of vendors. An excellent way to spend a Saturday.

Outdoor in summer, and indoor in winter it seems. Food, arts and crafts, boutique items, clothing, games, and more. Theres a range of jamaican, fillipino, indian, mexican, and american food. Hot sauce, fudge, flavored popcorn, lemonade. Breakfast, desserts, drinks. Coffee, tea, Thai, energy drinks, kombucha. Paintings, crochet, 3d printed items, face painting. Scented incense, candles, oils. Merch for sports, satire/meme shirts, cowboy hats, baby clothes, dog tags and clothing. Live music from 2 groups, cornhole for all.

Lots of vendors selling their stuff. This is not a farmers market to its name. This is a large building with vendors selling their stuff. If you are looking to find food for the table, this is not it. Goto Electric Works on Saturday 9AM - 1PM.

Lots of choices, fresh meat, breads. Coffee and food to order available. Crafts, candles, jewelry you name it.

Absolutely amazing market, whether you want fresh produce, shopping for arts/crafts, or just have a craving for some amazing food truck fairs.

July 2025: Fabulous outdoor market with food trucks, produce vendors, baked goods (including vegan and gluten free), jewelry, pet food and clothes, and so much more!

I spent most of my Saturday at this farmers market. It was lovely, to say the least. There were so many vendors: food, clothing, soaps, sweets, fresh produce, art, jewelry, body care, just to name a few. There was also an abundance of food and beverage trucks. I had the Vinland winery wine slushy which was excellent. I had the Sugar Mans smores cookie - amazing! I tried tacos- the best-. The market is family friendly, pet friendly, ability friendly, and most of all, free. It was wonderful to be outside, albeit the heat was intense at 90 degrees! This was an excellent experience and a wonderful way to spend the day.

Voted the best market in Indiana. Kudos to YLNI! If you've never been you're missing out. They do have an indoors location in the winter.

This farmers market is amazing! I visited during the months when it's held outdoors in downtown Fort Wayne. Several streets are blocked off to vehicular traffic, and there are dozens and dozens of vendors selling everything from produce to kombucha to baked goods to handmade clothing. This has to be the biggest and most well-curated farmers market that I've been to in Indiana. There is also a huge area with food trucks selling all types of food. I got a shredded chicken sandwich (what they call a "jammich") at a sandwich food truck called JAMM. There were lots of other options, including Jamaican food, barbecue, a food truck dedicated to mac and cheese in different permutations, food trucks selling mimosas and local beer and hard cider, and lots more. Also, you can walk around the farmers market with your alcoholic beverage! I got the best slice of strawberry cake and oatmeal chocolate chip cookie from a vendor selling baked goods. I wish I knew their name! You can't miss them, though -- there's a big CAKE sign in their booth, and they display the biggest and most tasty-looking cookies you've ever seen. In the winter months, the YLNI farmers market is held indoors at the Aunt Millie's plant at the corner of Pearl and Ewing streets.

So many great booths and food options! The farmers market is one of the biggest I've visited.

This is a super cute Farmers Market in downtown Fort Wayne. There are a ton of local farmers selling their produce as well as plants. There are also a variety of food stands that sell items from Crepes to Thai Food. My favorite merchant is Old Fort Soap Company who I discovered at local northern Indiana festivals (Johnny Appleseed, Merrellville, etc.). They are a staple at this market and sell most of their items from their booth including soaps, laundry soap and lotions. I appreciate that the market hours are 9am-1pm on Saturday, so that I can drive up from Noblesville if I want to venture north.

Fantastic variety of vendors! It's where Fort Wayne comes together every Saturday morning!

This is a great market to visit. Parking is an issue but really great vendors, very friendly and good produce. Definitely worth a visit.
