Most search results for the Canton farmers market describe a season that has ended. Six of the top ten we checked on Oct. 18 were for 2024, 2025, or a 2026 event page that has since been taken down. Here is what the 2026 season looked like, what is still unknown, and when the 2027 season is likely to start, judging by the last three years.
Is the Canton Farmers Market open now?
No. The 2026 season ended on Saturday, Aug. 29. The market’s vendor listing on Eventeny said fall night markets would follow, but we have found no fall dates anywhere, and the City has posted none. The City’s market page points to the market’s Facebook page for the latest updates, and the contact address is cantongafarmersmarket@cantonga.gov.
- The 2026 market ran on Saturdays from May 30 through August 29. There was no market on July 4; a night market was held on Thursday, July 2 instead. City of Canton calendar: Canton Farmers Market, May 30, 2026 (Internet Archive capture of June 11, 2026; live event pages blocked to scripts)

What do vendors sell?
Explore Canton’s May 2026 market post and the Eventeny listing name produce, meats and eggs, jams and honey, flowers and plants, and specialty foods. The City has not published a vendor count, a rain policy, or whether SNAP or EBT is accepted. If any of those decides your trip, email the market before you go.
Where do I park for the market?
The parking advice uses two names. The Eventeny listing points shoppers to the Archer Street Parking Deck next to Canton City Hall and to more than 300 surface spaces, with handicap parking behind the History Museum. Explore Canton’s parking guide calls the deck the Canton Downtown Parking Deck, at 345-303 W. Marietta St., with 102 spaces. They may be the same deck, but no source we read says so, so check a map before you drive. Our parking page lists every lot we could verify.
When will the 2027 market start?
The City has not posted 2027 dates as of Oct. 18, 2026. The last three seasons show a clear pattern:
- 2024: Sat., June 1, 2024 to Sat., Aug. 31, 2024
- 2025: Sat., May 31, 2025 to Sat., Aug. 30, 2025
- 2026: Sat., May 30, 2026 to Sat., Aug. 29, 2026
Each season opened on the Saturday after Memorial Day and closed on the last Saturday of August. If 2027 follows the same rule, opening day would be Sat., June 5, 2027, and the last Saturday would be Sat., Aug. 28, 2027. That is our arithmetic, not a posted date. Watch the market’s Facebook page and the City’s market page in May.
In 2024 there was also a one-off holiday market, Shopping by Lantern Light, on Nov. 26, 2024. Nothing like it has been posted for 2026.
