2026 Season

Conover, NC — The Conover Farmers Market is entering its 18th season with an exciting new chapter: a move to Downtown Conover as part of the citywide *Conover Grows Together* initiative.

community events,” said organizers of the Conover Farmers Market. “This move allows us to better support our vendors, increase visibility, and create a seamless connection between the market and the shops, restaurants, and services that make our city special.”

Benefits of the New Location:

- Increased visibility from main streets

- Safe, convenient pedestrian access to downtown businesses

- Expanded space for vendors, activities, and special events

- Strengthened collaboration between merchants and market vendors

- A more unified and welcoming Saturday experience for families

The 2026 season will feature themed market days, live music, children’s activities, and
