Andersonville Farmers Market Returns for 2026

The Andersonville Farmers Market will open its 2026 season on May 13 and run every Wednesday through October 21. (andersonvillemarket.org) The market is scheduled for Wednesdays from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on the 1500 block of West Winona Street and the adjacent AT&T parking lot in Andersonville. (andersonvillemarket.org; timeout.com) The Andersonville Chamber’s 2026 events calendar lists the market alongside other neighborhood draws including the Spring Wine Walk on May 17, Midsommarfest on June 12-14 and Taste of Andersonville on August 12. (andersonville.org) The market has become one of Andersonville’s recurring warm-weather anchors, giving Uptown and Andersonville shoppers a weekly stop for produce, baked goods, prepared food and neighborhood foot traffic. (andersonvillemarket.org; andersonville.org) Its vendor list for 2026 includes farms and food businesses such as Nichols Farm, Bennett Farms, Global Garden Refugee Farm, Piscasaw Gardens, Phoenix Bean, Katherine Anne Confections and Cafe Tola. (andersonvillemarket.org) The market’s own site says 2026 seasonal and pop-up vendor applications are closed, a sign the roster for this season is largely set before opening day. (andersonvillemarket.org) City officials are also steering shoppers to farmers markets as part of Chicago’s food-access push. The Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events says Link Match can add up to $25 per swipe for shoppers using Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits at participating markets and farm stands. (chicago.gov) The Andersonville market has also grown into a larger local-food event over time. A 2025 announcement for its 16th annual season said it featured more than 50 vendors and required everything sold there to be grown or produced within a 200-mile radius.
