Farmers Markets

17th Street Farmers Market
Historic Shockoe Bottom becomes a sea of vendors and shoppers several times each week when the 17th Street Farmers Market arrives in town. Whether you’re searching for one-of–a-kind crafts and fresh-baked breads at the daily markets, or that vintage collector’s item at the Sunday Shockoe Flea Market, 17th Street is the place. Choose from a Grower’s Market, the Shockoe Flea Market, or the Mucho Market. Established vendors always blend with new faces to offer homegrown, handmade, and handcrafted local goods. For more information on the market and opportunities for entertainment, contact:
