We want to take a moment to celebrate Wilmington’s freshest weekly tradition—the new Brandywine Park Farmers Market, held at the Josephine Fountain. If you’re familiar with the Brandywine Festival of the Arts, you’ll know exactly where this is.

From May to October, the Spread Good Karma Foundation and Friends of Wilmington Parks are gathering a diverse selection of local vendors and great vibes together every week.

Location: Around the Josephine Fountain in Brandywine Park 

When

• May through October
• Most Saturdays* from 10 AM–2 PM

* Note: The market will be held on the following Sundays instead: June 8, August 3, September 14, 21, and 28.

The market is dog-friendly, kid-friendly, and full of energy.

Each week, about 10 standout vendors bring the best of the region:

• Fresh local produce
• Hot coffee and cold brew
• Baked goods, including two of the area’s top fresh bread vendors
• Handmade artisan items
• Food trucks
• Live music

Most vendors accept credit cards and/or Apple Pay. Some may be cash-only, so plan accordingly.

• Josephine Fountain Lot: Right next to the Market - the most convenient and the most likely to fill up fast
• Street parking across the bridge: Lovering Ave – 3–5 min scenic walk
• Street parking at the top of Monkey Hill: 18th & Van Buren – 3-5 minute downhill walk
• Trolley Square parking lots and street parking: A 10-minute riverside stroll through the park

Holiday markets are on the horizon—stay tuned for dates and details around Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Shop local. Eat well. Soak up the vibe.
Brandywine Park Farmers Market. Wilmington deserves more cool stuff like this. See you there!
