West Palm Beach GreenMarket invites visitors to explore “The World, Right Here” during its 32nd season

West Palm Beach, Florida – The West Palm Beach GreenMarket is preparing to return to the waterfront for another season, inviting residents and visitors to discover flavors, products and traditions from around the world without leaving downtown.

Now entering its 32nd season, the popular market will reopen at the West Palm Beach waterfront at 100 N. Clematis St. on Saturday, Oct. 3. The market will operate from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., giving visitors a chance to shop, eat, listen to live music and explore the wide range of small businesses taking part.

This year’s theme, “The World, Right Here,” puts an emphasis on the international character of the market. Vendors represent countries and cultures across Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia and other parts of the world.

Visitors can expect to find European pastries, Mediterranean specialties, Latin American favorites, tropical fruits and produce, international beverages and other foods connected to different cultures and traditions. Alongside food, the market includes a broad selection of products, making it possible for shoppers to find everything from plants and flowers to home décor and specialty goods.

The GreenMarket has also earned national recognition. Earlier this year, it reclaimed the No. 1 position in the USA TODAY 10Best “Best Farmers Market” Readers’ Choice poll. It is the only market in the United States to have held the top spot for three consecutive years, having also ranked No. 1 in 2021, 2022 and 2023.

For West Palm Beach officials, the market’s continued popularity reflects how much it has become part of the city’s weekend routine.

“The return of the West Palm Beach GreenMarket is like a holiday in West Palm Beach,” said Mayor Keith A. James. “What started with just 13 vendors in a small parking lot has grown into a Saturday morning tradition for residents and visitors alike. It has been incredible to watch the GreenMarket grow into what it is today. I hope everyone will make time to enjoy the West Palm Beach GreenMarket this season!”

The market has grown into one of the region’s largest gatherings of small businesses. Vendors sell fresh produce, baked goods, coffee, tea, spices, specialty foods, plants, flowers, pet products, health and wellness items, home décor and other merchandise.

An average Saturday attracts between 10,000 and 15,000 visitors, making the GreenMarket one of downtown West Palm Beach’s most popular weekly attractions. The 2026–2027 season will continue each week through May 22, 2027, with two scheduled exceptions.

The market will be closed on Feb. 6 for the Palm Tree Festival and on March 20 for the Palm Beach International Boat Show.

Angela Poco, Marketing and Community Events Manager for the City of West Palm Beach, said the international theme reflects the way the market has long brought people together.

“The GreenMarket has always been about bringing people together, and this year’s theme highlights how food, culture, and community connect us all,” said Angela Poco, Marketing and Community Events Manager for the City of West Palm Beach. “Whether you’re searching for ingredients from your family’s heritage or looking to try something completely new, you can experience an incredible variety of cultures and cuisines right here in West Palm Beach.”

The new season will also introduce five new vendors. Ba Café, Arya Tea Bar, Macaroner, Sayblee Products and Truffle Smiles will join the market for the first time.

At the same time, four longtime vendors are being recognized as “Legacy Vendors.” The designation applies to businesses that have participated in the GreenMarket for at least 15 years and no longer need to compete for their spot. The new Legacy Vendors are Leila, Macy’s Smoked Fish Dip, Makebs and Mozzarita.

Food will not be the only attraction when the market returns. The weekly schedule will also feature live music and workshops, adding entertainment and educational activities to the shopping experience.

Another highlight will be the Master Chef Showcase, a chef-to-chef-style competition featuring culinary talent. The showcase is scheduled to begin Saturday, Nov. 14, giving visitors another reason to return to the market after its opening month.

The 2026–2027 GreenMarket season is produced by the City of West Palm Beach and is supported by a group of sponsors and community partners. Sponsors-to-date include Myers Auto Group/Land Rover Palm Beach, Florida Blue, Beautiful Bath, Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Office, Journey Church West Palm Beach, Florida Window and Door, Xfinity, VEG ER for Pets, Everleigh Palm Beach Gardens, SUNNY 107.9, NEW COUNTRY 103.1, WPB Magazine, West Palm Beach Food Tours, Pediatric Wellness Concierge, West Palm Beach Downtown Development Authority and WPBF 25.

Visitors arriving by car will have several parking options near the waterfront. Parking is available at the city’s Clematis, Banyan, City Center, Sapodilla and Evernia public garages.

The City Center, Clematis and Sapodilla garages will offer free parking during GreenMarket hours. The Banyan and Evernia garages are the closest options to the event, although those locations will follow the city’s all-day weekend flat rate of $5.

With tens of thousands of people expected to visit throughout the season, the GreenMarket is once again set to turn the West Palm Beach waterfront into a busy meeting place for food, shopping, music and culture.

The combination of longtime vendors, new businesses, international products and community activities gives the 2026–2027 season a chance to build on the market’s long history while offering visitors something new to discover.
