Welcome to the heart of community and culture in Northwest Louisiana—the Shreveport Farmers Market! Established in 2001 with a profound mission to bolster local food systems and foster community stewardship, this market has grown into a vibrant hub for residents and visitors alike. Our focus spans beyond creating a marketplace for farmers, ranchers, and artisans; we're dedicated to bringing together the diverse communities of Northwest Louisiana, Far East Texas, and Southern Arkansas through the shared love for fresh, local produce and handcrafted goods.
As a cornerstone of the community, the Shreveport Farmers Market is proud to offer an abundance of fresh produce, delightful baked goods, and unique handcrafted items. It's a place where you can taste the agricultural richness of the region in every bite and find hand-made goods that tell a story of craftsmanship and care. Every visit offers an opportunity to reconnect with the land and your neighbors, indulge in the vibrant local flavors, and support the incredible farmers and artisans who pour their hearts into their work. Whether you're a food enthusiast or looking for the perfect gift, our market provides a direct connection to the roots of our community.
The Shreveport Farmers Market is eager to welcome visitors every Saturday from June 1 to August 24, 2024. You'll find us at Festival Plaza, 101 Crockett St., where the atmosphere is always festive and friendly. Our setting is designed to make your visit as enjoyable as possible with convenient free public parking available on streets at meters, behind Riverview Hall, or on the lower level of Festival Plaza adjacent to SciPort. For our visitors who require handicapped parking, accessibility options are readily available on Commerce Street or in the Overlook Lot close to the pavilion, ensuring everyone has access to our community’s bounty.
Keeping in mind the comfort and convenience of all our guests, we've taken care to provide vital amenities such as accessible public restrooms located underneath the Spring Street Bridge, an onsite ATM for when you find that must-have purchase, and a clear pet policy—only service animals are allowed, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for everyone. Further, our Market Gear available at the Information Booth, like branded shirts and bags, lets you carry a piece of the market with you while contributing to its support. Our staff and volunteers are always at hand, ready to assist visitors and make your Shreveport Farmers Market experience unforgettable.
