Fernandina Beach Farmers Market
Every Saturday morning, year-round, on North 7th Street — produce, shrimp off the boat, and live music.
The Fernandina Beach Market Place is the town's Saturday morning fixture — every Saturday, year-round, roughly 9am to 1pm, on North 7th Street near Centre Street at the edge of the historic downtown. It does not take the winter off, which makes it one of the few reliable things to plan a weekend around in any season.
What's on the tables
- Local produce — the backbone of the market, shifting with the season.
- Shrimp and seafood — often just off the boat. Fernandina Beach is a working shrimping port and it shows here more than anywhere else in town.
- Plants and cut flowers — a large and consistently good section.
- Baked goods and honey — local bakers and apiaries.
- Handmade crafts — jewellery, woodwork, soaps and art.
There is live music most weeks, and the crowd is dog-friendly and family-friendly. Bring a bag; bring cash for the smaller stalls.
Making a morning of it
The market pairs naturally with the rest of downtown. Grab coffee on Centre Street, walk the two blocks over to 7th, then work back east through the Centre Street shops as they open around 10am. That sequence — market first, shops after — is the one locals use, because the produce goes early and the shops open late.
Parking. The market sits inside the downtown area, so the city's paid parking program applies — pay at a kiosk or by app and check posted signs. Arriving before 10am gets you both the better produce and the easier space. See the parking guide.
Other markets and events
The Saturday market is the year-round constant, but downtown fills its calendar with others: the monthly Downtown Art Walk, Sounds on Centre free first-Friday concerts in spring through fall, Sip & Shop evenings, and Dickens on Centre in December. Our events calendar is updated daily with what is actually on this week.
