Old Town Farmers Market
The Ottawa Area Chamber of Commerce and Industry coordinates and oversees Ottawa’s Old Town Farmers Market that is held every Saturday, May - October.
Throughout the course of a growing season, our market attracts over 50 vendors, selling homegrown fruits, vegetables, flowers and plants, and homemade bread, cakes, cookies, fudge and pies along with homemade craft items and homemade dog treats and toys. This year, we have some new seasonal vendors, selling soy candles, soap, wool, cheese and more!
