🚫 NO Ghent Farmers MARKET TODAY — SEE YOU FRIDAY AUGUST 7TH
No market today, Ghent — take the day to breathe, enjoy your weekend, and soak up some summer. We’ll see you Friday, August 7th, when the tents go up, the vendors roll in, and the market comes back to life with all your favorite fresh finds.

Come ready to shop, snack, stroll, and grab everything you’ve been craving — produce, baked goods, treats, drinks, handmade goods, and all the market magic that makes Fridays feel good. And yes, there’s plenty of FREE parking in the two Spotswood Ave lots, so getting here is easy.

Mark your calendar — August 7th is the next market day, and it’s going to be a good one.

Look at the size of this vendor list for Friday! The Ghent Farmers Market family is back on Spotswood Avenue this Friday, July 17th, from 4 to 7 PM, and we are throwing a full-blown neighborhood block party. We have a serious dinner lineup ready for you, featuring everything from Riffle Farm's amazing bison dogs and Yolee's G-Dawgs to LUCITA'S. Whether you want to sit on the grass and listen to Ta Gatling play live music or stroll down the street with a cold drink, this is exactly where you want to kick off your weekend.

Small businesses are the absolute heartbeat of Norfolk, and that is exactly why the Ghent Farmers Market exists. When you shop at our market, you are bypassing the big corporate chains and putting your money directly into the pockets of local families, independent artisans, and regional farmers. You get the freshest, highest-quality goods possible, and they get to keep doing what they love. It is a win for everyone, and it is what makes our community so special. Tag your favorite market crew in the comments, tell them dinner is on the street this Friday, and come out to help us support local.
