Established 1730, and still fresh, a blend of old world and new awaits you at Lancaster Central Market.
Designated as a market town in 1730, the City of Lancaster is home to Lancaster Central Market, the oldest, continuously running public farmers’ market in the country. More than 60 local vendors call the beautiful 1889 Market House home three days each week, when it opens its doors to welcome the surrounding community. A step inside is sure to highlight all that Lancaster County has to offer. A walk through its aisles will find an abundance of produce from the deeply nutrient-rich soils native to the local landscape; an array of prepared foods representing the proud cultural diversity of the county; and locally sourced meat, poultry, cheeses, and more.

Enjoy the Mayor’s Tree Lighting in the Market District! Welcome to the Market District. The Market District includes the blocks surrounding both our Markets, using each Market as an anchor for the District. Like Gallery Row and the 300 Block of North Queen Street, you’ll be seeing a unified approach to marketing and promotion. Behind the scenes, we’ll also be working to ensure business owners in the district are able to network, participate in marketing and receive training from experts. It’s a destination and a small business hub.
