The Historic Manassas Farmers Market is back for the 2025 season — and it’s bringing fresh produce, handmade goods, and community vibes to Downtown Manassas all spring, summer, and fall.
Whether you’re a market regular or planning your first visit, here are five things to know about this year’s market:
1. The Season Is Already Underway
The Thursday market officially opened on April 10 at the Harris Pavilion, with the Saturday market following on April 12 in the Prince William Street commuter lot. Both run weekly from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and will continue through late fall.
Thursday Market: Now through October 30 at Harris Pavilion (9201 Center Street)
Saturday Market: Now through November 22 at 9024 Prince William Street
2. Producer-Only Thursdays, Mixed Vendors on Saturdays
Thursday’s market remains producer-only, meaning everything you see — from strawberries to soaps — is made or grown by the vendor. Saturdays include a mix of local farmers, artisans, and small businesses offering food, crafts, and specialty goods.
3. SNAP/EBT and Virginia Fresh Match Are Back
The market continues to support food access through SNAP/EBT acceptance and participation in the Virginia Fresh Match program, which doubles benefits up to $30. Shoppers using SNAP can get more fresh produce for less.
4. It’s Award-Winning — and Getting Better
This market has consistently earned praise as one of the best in the region. It was named Best in Northern Virginia by Virginia Living Magazine and achieved Gold Level Certification from the Virginia Farmers Market Association. Expect top-tier vendors and lively crowds.
5. Events and Market Merch Add to the Fun
In addition to weekly shopping, the market offers live music, workshops, and branded merchandise. Look for events like the T-shirt bag-making workshop on April 26, and pick up a market apron ($10) or tote bag ($15) to support the program.
Parking is free at both locations, and service animals are welcome — but pets are not allowed due to state food safety rules.
