Not the kind of farmers market I had in mind. I was looking to buy fruit and produce, and there was…read morejust one vendor that sells produce. His prices were very reasonable, but selection was small. There are mostly food trucks here, and the live music was nice. I definitely like the late hours and the pretty riverside scenery, but very disappointed in the minimal produce available. Parking is free right next to the market, which was a pleasant surprise!! Despite being close to my house, I won't be going back. The Wheaton French Market is nicer and has more variety.

You can stop by any time from June to October on Saturdays I believe- weather dependent. The market is on the smaller side so you can get through it quickly. There is still a pretty big selection here of local goodies. From donuts to coffee to homemade jewelry and all in between. We ended up grabbing a few bags of coffee from Gigawatt coffee roasters. We got the Ethiopian medium roast and the Costa Rican light roast. The Ethiopian had honey, strawberry and shortbread notes. The Costa Rican one had orange, peach, and brown sugar notes. My favorite had to be the Costa Rican one but I like my coffee roasts light so it has an unfair advantage ;) Both coffees had a super smooth taste. I wish I could bottle up the smell of the freshness!! Grinding and brewing these beans filled up our kitchen so nicely. They also put the roast date on the package which is a huge bonus for us coffee snobs. All in all, we enjoyed our time here at the market. Everyone was very friendly and like I mentioned, the market is easily walkable.

When I lived in Illinois, I loved this French Farmers Market in Wheaton. It had to be one of my…read morefirst stops when I came back to town. My favorite memory about this market was buying a huge tropical beach painting from one of the vendors. It was one of my hubby and I's wedding presents to each other. This time around it was as great as I thought it would be. They have tons of little local vendors selling their crafts, food, popcorn, ice teams, clothes, flowers, jewelry, and home décor. There's a lot to see and several rows of it. It has a nice location by the train station and steps from Downtown Wheaton. One thing that I noticed after the fact when I had already been through the market is that they are not dog friendly. My dog was walking all throughout the market with no problem. Than at the end, I see the small sign that says no dogs allowed. I don't understand how that could be the case when this is outside. Either way, no one stopped us with him walking around and it was fine. Another thing is that there really aren't that many food vendors as I thought that would be. there was a popcorn vendor, a bakery, some coffee, and maybe about 2 or 3 more food vendors. There was not much selection, so if you are hungry just keep that in mind and check out something in downtown Wheaton.
