The Edina Farmers Market at Centennial Lakes Park is one of the most pleasant ways to spend a Saturday morning in the metro. Set against the backdrop of the park's lake and walking paths, the market draws local growers, bakers, flower farmers, and specialty food makers each summer weekend. It's equal parts grocery run and community gathering — the kind of market where you're likely to run into neighbors, discover a new jam producer, and come home with more than you planned to buy. The setting at Centennial Lakes Park makes the whole experience feel special in a way that bigger urban markets rarely manage.
What You'll Find at the Market
The Edina Farmers Market features a rotating roster of vendors across produce, baked goods, prepared foods, flowers, and handcrafted items. Seasonal vegetables from local growers fill the early weeks with spring greens and strawberries before giving way to tomatoes, corn, peppers, and squash through mid-summer and into fall.
The baked goods category is a particular strength of the Edina market — expect artisan bread, fresh pastries, and specialty items that make a strong case for arriving early before the best items sell out.
- Seasonal produce — vegetables and fruit from local growers, rotating through the season

The Centennial Lakes Park Setting
What separates the Edina Farmers Market from comparable metro options is the setting. Centennial Lakes Park is a 10-acre urban park with a central lake, paved walking loops, and a natural amphitheater area that hosts the market. After browsing the stalls, it's natural to continue into the park for a walk or to grab a coffee and sit by the water.
The park is easily walkable from nearby neighborhoods and has ample parking for those driving in. On busy summer Saturdays, arriving closer to the market's opening time tends to mean better selection and easier parking.
Market Season & Hours
The Edina Farmers Market runs on Saturday mornings from late spring through early fall.
Pairing a market visit with brunch at one of the nearby 50th & France restaurants or a coffee stop at the Galleria makes for an ideal Saturday in Edina. The Centennial Lakes area is also within easy reach of the Nine Mile Creek Trail for those who want to work off their market finds.
