HOPKINSVILLE, KY (CHRISTIAN COUNTY NOW) – The Downtown Hopkinsville Farmers Market will officially start their season on May 2, with the schedule officially moved to Saturday mornings.
In past years, the market was held on Thursday evenings, only shifting to occasional weekend last season. Low vendor and community participation in the past has prompted a shift, with people now able to shop from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturdays at the same Founders Square location.
This season, organizers are hoping to offer the community a variety of produce options along with baked goods, handmade items, flowers and more items through local vendors.
In 2025, produce in Christian County was negatively impacted by weather, beginning with the floods during the spring and ending with a major heatwave. This left the only participating produce vendor with nothing to sell and prompted an early end to the season. The 2026-27 season is expected to last through September.
The market is still accepting vendor applications. People who are interested in selling items can call (270) 887-4285 or go to their office at 710 South Main Street. Updates about what vendors to expect can be found on the Downtown Hopkinsville Farmers Market Facebook page.
