A farmers market run — or an evening at a maker's market — is one of the simplest ways to make the week feel a little more local. Pick up summer produce, flowers, baked goods, coffee, or something handmade, and support nearby growers and makers while you're at it.

A few to keep in your rotation:

Every Sunday from May through October, Cabin John Village and The Maker's Valley team up to turn the parking lot into a proper farmers market — fresh produce, artisan goods, and a solid excuse to make Sunday mornings a routine. Runs 9am–1pm at 7919 Tuckerman Lane in Potomac, so it's an easy one to pair with a slow breakfast or a loop through the rest of the village shops while you're there.

📅 Every Sunday, May–October, 9am–1pm · 📍 Cabin John Village, 7919 Tuckerman Lane, Potomac (on the Community Green) 🏷️ Produce & artisan market

A monthly evening market pairing local vendors with live music and a sunset backdrop — this one leans artisan and handmade over produce: think local drinks, baked goods, a hat bar, and a DIY keychain station, with live music. A collaboration between Cabin John Village and The Maker's Valley.

📅 Last Saturday of the month (July 25, August 29, September 26, 2026), 4–8pm · 📍 Cabin John Village / Community Green, Potomac 🏷️ Artisan & maker market (evening)

Potomac’s new Stoney Glen Market sets up every Saturday and Sunday with fresh produce, handcrafted goods, and local finds.

📅 Every Saturday & Sunday, 8am–2pm · 📍 Stoney Glen Market, Potomac Oak Center, 12944 Travilah Road, Potomac (corner of Glen Road and Travilah Road) 🏷️ Produce & artisan market

A year-round farm stand at the corner of Congressional Parkway and River Road, carrying fresh produce, flowers, and plants, plus seasonal specialties like pumpkins, firewood, and Christmas trees depending on the time of year.

📅 Open daily · 📍 9045 Congressional Parkway, Potomac 🏷️ Farm stand

The second Potomac location from the same family-run farm stand, offering the same fresh produce and seasonal goods.

📅 Open daily, 10am–6pm · 📍 12300 Falls Road, Potomac (near Montgomery Square/Copenhaver) 🏷️ Farm stand

One of the largest farmers markets in the region, drawing from a roster of 100+ vendors and artisan food producers across the year (not all at once — expect a rotating lineup each week). Table seating, live music, local winery/brewery tastings, chef demos, and kids' activities round it out. Runs year-round, rain or shine — a rarity among area markets that stop for the season.

📅 Sundays, year-round — 9am–1pm (Jan–Mar), 9am–1:30pm (Apr–Dec); closed Thanksgiving weekend · 📍 Bethesda Elementary School, 7600 Arlington Road, Bethesda 🏷️ Produce & artisan market · Limited free lot on-site; additional free parking at St. Elmo Garage (4935 St Elmo Ave) and Woodmont Corner Garage (7661 Old Georgetown Rd)

A sister market to Bethesda Central Farm Market, run by the same operator — over 30 vendors selling fresh and prepared foods, with live music, Maryland winery/farm brewery tastings, kids' club activities, and chef demos. A convenient stop if you're already at Pike & Rose for shopping or dinner. See the full vendor list →

📅 Saturdays, 9am–1pm, April 25–Nov 21, 2026; special Thanksgiving market Tuesday, Nov 24, 10am–2pm · 📍 Parking lot next to Pinstripes, 935 Prose Street, North Bethesda
🏷️ Produce & artisan market · Free 2-hour on-site parking in Pike & Rose garages (closest on Prose St.); additional free lot at corner of Towne Rd & Rose Ave, and at 5800 Montrose Road (~4 min walk)

New for 2026, Central Farm Markets brings a midweek market to Bethesda, taking over the parking lot at the Montgomery Farm Women's Cooperative Market every Wednesday through the fall. Expect a genuinely wide spread — local pork, chicken, and fish, cheeses, produce, dairy, baked goods, eggs, flowers, and prepared foods to go, with vendors like Springfield Farm, Toigo Orchards, and Zeke's Coffee rotating through. Rain or shine, it's a solid excuse to break up the week with a stop for dinner ingredients. See the full vendor list →

📅 Wednesdays, July 15–November 25, 9am–1pm · 📍 Montgomery Farm Women's Cooperative Market (parking lot), 7155 Wisconsin Avenue, Bethesda 🏷️ Produce & artisan market

A big, well-established Saturday market with a rotating lineup of local farms and makers — produce, meats, cheeses, baked goods, flowers, and specialty vendors. One of the larger vendor rosters in the area. See the full vendor list →

📅 Saturdays, May 16 – Nov. 21, 2026, 9am–1pm · 📍 Jury Parking Lot, corner of Route 28 & Monroe Street, Rockville 🏷️ Produce & artisan market · Free parking in the Montgomery County parking garage on Monroe St.

A smaller, specialty-leaning market at Kensington's Historic Train Station — produce, cheese, seafood, baked goods, prepared foods, and a rotating mix of niche vendors (think olive oil, honey, even a knife-sharpening stand). A nice pairing if you're also catching the Kensington Historical Society's free summer concert series, held right across the street. See the full vendor list →

🏷️ Produce & specialty market
