What to expect at Lenexa Farmers Market in 2026
Published on March 30, 2026
Spring is waking up, and the Lenexa Farmers Market isn’t far behind. The countdown is on to open our ninth season in late April, when many of your favorite vendors return and a few new ones join the lineup. Operated by the City of Lenexa, the market remains proudly local, featuring products grown, raised or made within 250 miles or throughout Kansas.
You’ll find a standout selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, baked goods, dairy, pantry staples, ready-to-eat foods, beverages, plants and flowers, body care products and gifts. Many of our vendors use pesticide-free practices when growing their produce. Some farmers have gone through the Certified Naturally Grown process. Its standards are based on the highest ideals of the organic movement.
Season schedule
Visit us once or twice a week on Lenexa’s bustling civic campus this season:
- Saturdays: April 25–Oct. 31, 2026, 8 a.m. to noon
- Tuesdays: May 26–Aug. 25, 2026, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Meet up at the Market! You’ll enjoy the live music and featured artists while shopping, but there’s lots more to do before or after that. Squeeze in a workout at the Lenexa Rec Center, pick up your holds from the Lenexa City Center Library, explore the latest exhibits in the City Hall Art Gallery, grab a meal at the Lenexa Public Market, or visit other City Center neighborhood businesses.
