In just two weeks, the heartbeat of downtown Sunbury will return with the sights, sounds, and aromas of the Sunbury Farmers Market. Every Saturday from May 24 through October 25, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, 9 E Granville Street will again transform into a bustling hub of local agriculture, artisanal craftsmanship, and warm community spirit.
Where Local Meets Lively
Tucked in the heart of Sunbury’s charming town square, the Farmers Market is far more than a shopping destination—it’s a Saturday ritual for many. With each passing season, the market grows in both size and scope, showcasing the area’s expanding farm-to-table culture. Whether you’re looking for freshly picked produce or just a friendly spot to grab breakfast and stroll, this market offers a genuine slice of small-town life.
Visitors are welcomed not only by rows of colorful booths but also by the easy rhythm of acoustic music, friendly chatter, and the enticing aroma from food trucks. On any given weekend, you might stumble upon a gardening demo, a kids’ activity corner, or a pop-up mini festival organized by volunteers.

More Than a Market
The Sunbury Farmers Market is also a community platform—welcoming local nonprofits, clubs, and volunteers. With every Saturday, it becomes a space for learning, connection, and discovery. Children dart between booths with small tokens and treats, dogs tug gently on leashes, and neighbors stop to catch up on the week.
For families, foodies, and anyone who enjoys fresh air and fresh food, the Sunbury Farmers Market is a weekly reminder of the power of local. Mark your calendars and bring your tote bags—Sunbury’s freshest tradition returns May 24.
