The Ravinia Farmers Market is a community-focused market in Highland Park, Illinois, connecting local growers, artisans, food makers, and shoppers. In addition to its outdoor summer season, the market also operates winter programming in Highland Park, including indoor markets at Braeside Market and Wayfarer Theaters. The market is designed to support local small businesses while giving the community access to fresh foods, handmade goods, and a lively neighborhood gathering place.
Fresh, Local, and Community-Driven
Welcome! Whether you’re a local vendor ready to showcase your products, a business interested in sponsorship opportunities, or a community member excited to shop fresh and local this season, there’s a place for you at the Ravinia Farmers Market.
