For 36 years, the Broadway Farmers Market has been a cornerstone of spring and summer in Tacoma; a place where fresh food, local creativity, and community connection come together in the heart of downtown.
What began as Tacoma’s very first farmers market has grown into one of the city’s most beloved weekly traditions. Each season, the market transforms Broadway into a lively, open-air destination where residents, workers, and visitors alike can slow down, shop local, and reconnect with the people and products that make this community so special.
Now entering its 36th season, the Broadway Farmers Market continues to evolve while staying rooted in what matters most: supporting local farmers, uplifting small businesses, and creating a welcoming space for everyone.
