An annual fixture in downtown Manitowoc returns this weekend.
The Manitowoc Farmers Market’s 2026 season gets underway on Saturday (May 2nd) from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the Briess/Quay Street parking lot across from the Manitowoc Public Library.
This year, the farmers market is expanding payment to allow EBT, offering the Double Bonus Bucks program up to $10 each week, helping ensure residents have access to fresh produce and other nutritious foods.
Manitowoc Director of Tourism Courtney Hansen tells Seehafernews.com that in the winter, “the market transitioned within the City of Manitowoc’s Community Development Department to the Department of Tourism, Visit Manitowoc. The Department rebranded the market as the Manitowoc Farmers Market, launched a new visual identity, and implemented a marketing strategy aligned with their overall destination marketing efforts.”
Hansen continues, saying they are excited to kick off the farmers market, which will feature over 70 vendors and food trucks offering fresh produce.
Laci Kitzmann has also been named the new Farmers Market Manager, and Emma Frank will join as an intern.
The Manitowoc Farmers Market is presented by Aurora Health Care and BayCare Clinic.
