The Conservatory Farmers Market begins June 3-September 16, 2026 on Wednesdays from 3:30-6:30pm.
Vendors offer a mix of local produce, baked goods, specialty foods, handmade items, and health & beauty products. EBT is accepted for all qualifying purchases and incentive dollars through the Produce Perks Columbus program for fresh produce are offered for all EBT participants.
Kids can also participate in VEGGIE CHAMPS, a weekly activity that rewards kids with Veggie Bucks to spend at the market.
Markets will occur if it rains but will be canceled in the case of dangerous weather: high winds, lightning, or extreme heat.
Some of the coolest riders and sharpest bikes in the city roll into Our Haus on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays from April through September — and we love hosting the crew.
Ride in, hang out, and enjoy the energy of Euro Bike Night.
*Weather permitting.
