Only 4 Sundays Left at East Lansing Farmers Market

You know how this works in Michigan.

One minute it feels like summer just got here. The next, you're buying Halloween candy, wondering when the heck it got so dark so early and realizing there are a bunch of things you meant to do this summer that you never actually got around to.

If visiting the East Lansing Farmers Market was one of them, consider this your friendly reminder.

You've only got four Sundays left.

Only Four Sundays Remain at the East Lansing Farmers Market

The East Lansing Farmers Market wraps up its 2026 season on Sunday, October 25, at Valley Court Park.

The market is open Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and it's a little different from some other farmers markets you might have visited.

What Makes the East Lansing Farmers Market Different?

East Lansing's is a growers-only market, meaning vendors have to grow what they're selling or make their own products.

You'll find Michigan-grown produce along with bread, cheese, meat, coffee, maple syrup, honey, flowers, and plenty more.

Special Events Planned for the Final Four Markets

And October's final four markets have a little extra going on too.

Autumn Fest is set for October 4, with family-friendly activities and treats planned.

October 11 is Pet Adoption Day.

Then the whole thing wraps up October 25 with a Halloween-themed final market of the season.

That also happens to be the same day as East Lansing's Great Pumpkin Walk downtown from 1 to 4 p.m., where kids can trick-or-treat at more than 30 businesses, decorate pumpkins and see that giant 26-foot inflatable pumpkin.
