Turning 20 Never Looked So Good
Twenty years in. Three words to show for it.
The Bethel Park Farmers' Market turns 20 this season. Here's what that means — and what comes next.
In 2006, the Bethel Park Farmers Market set up for the first time. Nobody knew then whether it would last a summer or twenty years. It hopped around the community, finding new homes until we landed at the Corrigan drive lot. Celebrating our 20th season deserves a moment before anything else.
To encapsulate the last 19 years, we're putting words to what you already love. Starting in May, Fresh · Tasty · Local becomes the guiding identity of the Bethel Park Farmers Market. More of a refresh than a reinvention, but after two decades, you deserve some clarity for what has been true since the beginning. Fresh, Tasty, Local is at the core of our mission statement:
Those three words — Fresh, Tasty, Local — aren't new values. They're a description of every Tuesday since 2006.
Fresh is the tomato picked that morning, the bread still warm from the oven.
Tasty is the vendor who has been perfecting their recipe longer than some of their customers have been alive.
Local is the gift of knowing the name and face of the person who grew, or made, the food you eat.
Twenty years of that adds up. It adds up in the vendors who have made this market part of their livelihood, the families who've made it part of their routine, and the very real way a weekly gathering shapes a neighborhood's identity over time.
The outdoor season opens on the first Tuesday in May. Vendor listings are being updated now — check back soon for the full 2026 lineup.
Until then, No Cook Tuesday keeps running every week — food trucks, familiar faces, no dishes for you to clean. A good way to stay connected between now and the outdoor opener.
More is coming this season — vendor spotlights, anniversary moments worth marking, and a few things the market hasn't done before. Twenty years is worth celebrating. Stick around for it.
