Cape Coral Farmers’ Market
Every Saturday
The Cape Coral Farmers’ Market has been a favorite Saturday morning destination for over 25 years. Over the years, we have grown to over 125 vendors. We are confident that we have all the delicious foods and local crafts that you love to shop for.
We are also proud that we were the first market in Lee County to offer Fresh Access Bucks to our EBT/SNAP customers.
The market can also be very entertaining with great musicians perform during the season.
We hope that you choose to make the Cape Coral Farmers’ Market your Saturday Morning Destination year round!
