Fresh produce, meats, cheeses and specialty products return to Downtown Overland Park on Saturday, April 15 as the Overland Park Farmers’ Market opens for the season. This year’s market layout will resemble the 2022 expanded pavilion site, expanding out from under the Farmers’ Market pavilion and into nearby parking lots and onto Marty Street. As you look forward to spending your Saturday mornings supporting your favorite vendors, here are three tips to serve as your guide to the Overland Park Farmers’ Market.
1. Plan for Parking
The first step to a successful trip to the Farmers’ Market is finding the right parking spot. All of the major streets in Downtown Overland Park have multiple accessible on-street parking spaces.
Free public parking is also available at:
- Strang Hall parking lot
- Edison OP parking garage (enter off 81st Street between Marty and Overland Park Drive)
- The Vue parking garage (enter off Floyd)
- Matt Ross Community Center, 8101 Marty (West parking lot)
Once you find your perfect parking spot, walk, bike, ride or roll to 7950 Marty Street to begin your day at the Farmers’ Market.
2. Pick Your Produce and Other Products
Shopping for produce to include in a new recipe? Take a look at what is in season and likely available for purchase. The Overland Park Farmers’ Market gives shoppers access to fresh, local products. Vendors are required to label all products according to their origin.
