The Grimes Farmers and Community Market: when, where, and what to expect.

A Saturday-morning market is one of the small things that makes a growing suburb feel like a town. Grimes has one in the middle of town at Heritage Park. Here is the quick guide, including what happens in the off-season.

The details

Heritage Park is at 1055 NE Beaverbrooke Blvd, in the middle of the Beaverbrooke corridor. Check its Facebook page before you go if the forecast looks rainy, since weather calls are posted there.

At the market

It started at the library with a handful of vendors and moved to Heritage Park, where a 2025 news report counted more than 60 vendors. The mix is local farmers and growers, bakers, handmade goods and jewelry, and prepared food and coffee. Vendors change from week to week, and some sell for only a few Saturdays, so the lineup is never quite the same. Per a 2025 news report, vendors have included an Adel produce farm and sellers of breakfast burritos and coffee, so it works as a breakfast stop too.

• Dogs: allowed, since it is a public park. Keep them close and clean up after them.
• Payments: each vendor is its own business. Most take cash, cards, and Venmo or PayPal, but bring some cash for smaller booths.
• Kids: the market runs a Young Entrepreneur Program (YEP) where young sellers set up their own booth.
• Walking or biking: the market's website encourages walkers and cyclists to leave the car at home. See our trails guide for routes.

Selling at the market

Vendors get a 10 by 10 foot space, and the market asks for a certificate of insurance naming it as an additional insured. It does not supply tables, and limited electricity is available. The posted space rates are $35 for a single day, $109 for four days, $169 for eight days, and $199 for a full season with a permanent space, with tent rentals available at extra cost.

What to do until June

After the market closes in September, the city runs fall events such as the Fall Festival and Trunk or Treat at the South Sports Complex. See Grimes annual events for the year, and our things to do guide for the rest. In summer, the city also holds movies and concerts at Heritage Park.
