2025 Season Welcome
Welcome to the 2025 South Shore Farmers’ Market season! On behalf of the South Shore Farmers’ Market Committee, we are delighted to share with the community a 27th summer and fall of local, fresh food from over 50 regional vendors, musical performances from homegrown talent, and opportunities to connect with fellow Milwaukeeans and visitors in beautiful South Shore Park. Join us Saturdays from 8 am to Noon, June 7– October 25, 2025.
We invite non-profits serving Milwaukee to share about the great things they offer in service of the community. If you’d like to participate as a nonprofit organization, please reach out to us through the contact form found here, and we will get back to you.
A huge thank you to our sponsors Tenuta’s Italian Restaurant, Trinidad Home Remodeling, and Centraal. This market wouldn’t be all that it is without your generous support! Thanks also to our managers and to the planning committee listed below. The South Shore Farmers’ Market is a labor of love. Thank you to all the dedicated volunteers who’ve made this market such an enduring, wonderful part of summer and fall. And thank you to all of our Bay View neighbors and friends from near and far for showing up each Saturday.
See you at the market by the lake!

CELEBRATING 27 YEARS!
South Shore Farmers’ Market (SSFM) was conceived 27 years ago, as an extension of Friends of South Shore Park, and founders had two main priorities: preserve and create community in South Shore Park and build connections between urban residents and regional agriculture and small local food producers. In some ways, not much has changed since the early days, lending to part is part of its charm. Each Saturday, June – October, rain or shine, the market brings together the best of local in the best locale. Quality vendor products with a focus on local agriculture, botanicals, packaged food and beverage, and ready-made products have continued to make this one of the most popular markets in the region.
