When: Sat., Sept. 27 • 8:00 AM–12:00 PM
Where: Village Square, 41 E Rhine St, Elkhart Lake
Cost: Free to attend (pay vendors directly)

Kick off your Saturday at the Elkhart Lake Farmers & Artisans Market, a lakeside favorite known for its roomy layout, live vibe, and strong mix of local produce, meats, cheeses, flowers, baked goods, and handmade wares. Dozens of Wisconsin growers and makers line the Village Square, so you can fill your bag with everything from apples and squash to sourdough, jam, and small-batch crafts.

Why go

  • 100% local vendors—you’re buying directly from the people who grow and make it.
  • Peak fall selection: apples, pumpkins, winter squash, greens, maple syrup, honey, eggs.
  • Artisan finds: jewelry, candles, woodwork, textiles, and gifts.
  • Easy in/out: free street parking around the square; coffee and snacks on site.

Pro tips

  • Bring a reusable tote (or cooler) and some small bills; many vendors also accept cards.
  • Come early for best selection; later shoppers sometimes score end-of-market deals.
  • Ask vendors how they grow or how to cook—most love sharing prep ideas and recipes.
