Lancaster Central Market

Experience the legacy of Lancaster Central Market, America's oldest continually running farmer's market, established in 1730. Our market has been a cornerstone of the community for nearly 300 years, offering an authentic blend of history and fresh, local produce. Located in the heart of downtown Lancaster, our historic building is filled with beauty and centuries of tradition, where visitors gather to enjoy the best the region has to offer.

At Lancaster Central Market, we take pride in providing a diverse array of fresh local produce, ready-made dishes, and unique flavors. Our standholders are dedicated to delivering the freshest meats, dairy products, and Lancaster recipes. Whether you're in the mood for some home-cooked meals or seeking unique gifts, our market stands have something special for everyone.

Open every Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday from 6 AM to 3 PM, Lancaster Central Market is a vibrant hub of culture and community. From vegetables to spices, fish, coffee, and flowers, our market truly encapsulates the best of Lancaster under one historic roof. Visitors leave with both full bags and full hearts, never empty-handed or with an empty belly.

The market is not just a place to shop; it's an experience to connect with the community. We host various events throughout the year, such as the Annual Strawberry Festival, Harvest Breakfast, and the Mayor’s Tree Lighting. These events create lasting memories and joy shared among loved ones and our market community.
