One of the best ways to experience the local flavor of Florida’s Gulf Coast is a visit to the Venice, FL farmers market. The market brings together local growers, bakers, artisans, and food vendors in a lively community gathering, a favorite tradition for residents and visitors alike.
The Farmers Market operates every Saturday, 8am to 1pm, year-round in downtown Venice, near City Hall. It features everything from fresh produce and seafood to handmade goods and live entertainment.
