There is no better way to taste the Texas Hill Country than a stroll through the Fredericksburg Farmers Market. Every week during the season, local farmers, ranchers, bakers, and winemakers gather just off Main Street with the freshest goods the region has to offer. Best of all, the market sits only steps from Inn on Barons Creek, so guests of our Fredericksburg hotel can wander over, fill a market bag, and return to a peaceful creekside retreat without ever moving the car.
When and Where to Find the Market
The Fredericksburg Farmers Market is held on Thursday evenings from 4 to 7 p.m., spring through fall, at Marktplatz, under the Adelsverein Halle pavilion at 126 West Main Street. Check the market calendar before you go, as an occasional Thursday is skipped for local festivals. From our front porch, it is an easy stroll down historic Main Street to reach the stalls.
