COVINGTON, KY - The Covington Farmers Market, a program of the Center for Great Neighborhoods, is proud to announce its return to Washington Street in downtown Covington for the 2026 outdoor season. The market officially kicks off on Saturday, May 2, at 9 a.m.
This year’s outdoor season features a rotating lineup of over 30 vendors, including local farmers, artisans, and civic groups. Each Saturday, visitors can browse up to 25 stalls offering local produce, prepared foods, baked goods, plants, flowers, crafts, and more. New vendors to the market this year include Behemoth Bakery, specializing in gluten-free baked goods; Good Earth Good Eating, a Westside staple roasting their own coffee and pressing their own juices; and Sonna Mae Heritage Farm, a family-owned and operated regenerative farm in Cincinnati.
To celebrate opening day, the Covington Farmers Market will be giving away insulated, reusable shopping bags to the first 70 customers who sign up for the official market newsletter, so visitors should plan to get there when the market opens at 9 a.m. to snag their free bag.
The market runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday from May 2 through October 31, 2026, located along Washington Street in Covington between W. 6th Street and W. Pike Street. The market is just blocks away from Mainstrasse and the Madison Avenue business corridor, with many local eateries and shops to visit before or after a trip to the market.
The Covington Farmers Market serves as a startup catalyst for small businesses, growers, and local farms. In 2025, market vendors generated over $180,000 in revenue, with several former vendors successfully transitioning from market booths to brick-and-mortar storefronts. The Covington Farmers Market is a member of Kentucky Proud and one of the few Kentucky-based Farmers Markets within a 15-mile radius that accepts food assistance cards.
