Saratoga Outdoor Markets

a tradition of fresh, local & seasonal

Welcome to the Saratoga Outdoor Markets

Located at High Rock Park in historical Saratoga Springs, NY

The Saratoga Outdoor Markets are here to serve the community from May to October on Wednesdays from 3 PM to 6 PM and Saturdays 9 AM to 1 PM.  
 
We are a 501(c)3 and our market has been in existence since its creation in 1978; the first in the area of its kind.  Our Saturday market is the largest of our two weekly markets, but both are bountiful and created to serve the community with locally grown and produced items. 
At the Saratoga Outdoor Markets, a vibrant farmers market stand displays fresh vegetables—radishes with greens, tomatillos in baskets, potatoes, and colorful bell peppers. A chalkboard sign lists radishes at $3 per bunch.
