Oshkosh Saturday Farmers Market
Announces Modified Winter Market During COVID-19
The Oshkosh Saturday Farmers Market announces the opening of the Winter Market 2020-21. The Winter Market will open at the Oshkosh Convention Center on November 14 at 8am and feature the first of four Oshkosh Farmers Market & Holiday Bazaars. Markets in November, December & January will be held at the Oshkosh Convention Center located at
2 N. Main St. in Oshkosh. Due to COVID-19 the market will be quite different this year.
Market Manager, Michelle Schmid-Schultz stated that, "The market will continue to support the agricultural and the local community by moving the market indoors with significant changes in set up and hours.”
The Market will feature 4 regular farmers markets from 8am – 12:30pm and 4 holiday bazaars (featuring over 50 vendors to include many local artists and crafters) from 8am – 3pm. The Winter Market will open at 8am vs. 9am to provide those with health concerns a safer hour of shopping. The Winter Market will be providing extended hours at the Holiday Bazaars (until 3pm) to spread out attendance so that social distancing can be observed in the vendor area. The market will be limiting the capacity, in the main market area, to 50%.
Additional information is located here on the website. The most current Oshkosh Farmers Market information can be found on the market’s Facebook page (search Oshkosh Farmers Markets).
Farmers markets in Wisconsin are exempted from closing and from mass gathering restrictions instituted as a result of COVID-19. Farmers markets, like big box stores, are considered an essential resource. They may prove to be even more important if larger supply chains are disrupted leading to shortages of agricultural products we produce locally.
The Oshkosh Saturday Farmers Market is working diligently to ensure the market is safe for customers, staff, volunteers and vendors.
Changes to the Oshkosh Saturday Farmers Market-Winter include the following:
