  • Where do I park?

    Anywhere you'd like, outside of the barricaded footprint. We're lucky to have such a large parking area, though on our busy days, you might have to drive around once or twice to find a spot. 


    We have handicap spots marked alongside the market edge, and there's plenty of space between ours and the ice rink lot.

  • Can I use SNAP/EBT/WIC?

    Yes, we welcome all of our neighbors and want to make fresh, healthy food as accessible as possible. 


    We are even able to help stretch your finances through our incredible partnership with FAM!


  • Will you cancel for bad weather?

    The BPFM operates rain or shine, including lots of rain or lots of heat. 


    If there is severe (think tornado) weather, the market manager will announce on social medias if there is a delay or cancellation. 

  • What vendors are there?

    We have 50+ incredible vendors that rotate through the season, and you can find the full list HERE.


    Disclaimer: Please note that vendor participation is subject to change. While we strive to maintain an updated list, unforeseen circumstances such as personal emergencies, vehicle issues, or administrative matters may affect vendor availability. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

  • What if I have allergies or diet restrictions?

    While we are actively trying to expand our offerings for people who have restricted diets, we suggest speaking to the vendor and asking specific questions. 

  • What should I bring to the market?

    • Reusable Bag (very few of our vendors are able to provide bags for your products, and in the spirit of farmers markets, we want to be as environmentally friendly as possible!)
    • Comfortable shoes (the market is located on an asphalt parking lot, and expands the entire lot)
    • Sun protection (since we're on a parking lot, there's not a lot of shade, and there's a lot of sun-- wear your sunglasses and sunscreen!)
    • Friends and family (make it a day, do your shopping, grab a cool drink and delicious meal, take a walk, and spend time with ones that you love!)
  • How do I become a vendor?

    We love supporting local businesses, and are so excited when they want to join our market!

    That will add you to our waitlist, and whenver we have event opportunities and openings, our team will review the submissions and reach out to the best fit! 

  • What is No Cook Tuesday?

    No Cook Tuesday are seasonal food truck evenings at the BP Community Center during the months before and after the farmers market season. 


    Technically, No Cook Tuesday continues through the market since there are food trucks there every day! 


    You can find out more HERE.

  • Can I bring my dog?

    If your furry friend is friendly to other dogs and people, they are very welcome! 

    • Remember that asphalt gets even hotter than the air, so we want to protect the pups paws
    • All dogs must remain on a leash! We are using a County Park parking lot, and their rules require it.

OUR STORY

ABOUT THE FARMERS MARKET

Started back in 2006, the award-winning Bethel Park Farmers Market will open its 20th season on Tuesday, May 5 from 3-7 p.m. at the South Park VIP Parking Lot near the ice-skating rink located off of Corrigan Drive. The Market will run every Tuesday through October 14th, rain or shine.


In its 8th season at this location, the site has been extremely well-received by both shoppers and vendors. The location offers convenient parking, easy in and out access, and great visibility from the road so that those walking by can shop too!


The Market generally features 50+ full-season, partial or visiting vendors each week providing such items as seasonal produce, plants and flowers, meats, eggs, baked goods, wine, cheese, prepared foods, and food trucks as well as a variety of artisan items and pet products.


Musical entertainment for guests is also part of the experience along with cooking demos and classes on the horizon!
