Also on Wednesdays, the Big Sky Farmers Market takes over Town Center’s Fire Pit Park from 5–8pm through September 25th.

The weekly market will continue on subsequent Thursday evenings from 4–7pm through September 12th. The region’s newest market provides a venue for homemade, handmade, and homegrown vendors to sell their local products. The weekly event will also provide the community with a fun, family friendly setting to buy produce and local goods from their neighbors.
Finally, the original Gallatin Valley Farmers’ 
Market will be held Saturday mornings from 9am–12pm through September 14th. The markets take place at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds in Bozeman. Serving the community for more than four decades, the Gallatin Valley Farmers’ Market provides an opportunity and location for hundreds of local vendors of homemade food, handmade crafts, and locally grown produce to market, display and sell their goods to promote economic well-being and support the development of home-based businesses. Please note: there will be no market on July 20th during the Big Sky Country State Fair.
