Bentonville, AR – The Bentonville Farmers Market, presented by Arvest, returns April 11th! Downtown Bentonville Inc. is proud to welcome back more than 100 local farmers and makers for another season of fresh flavors, handmade goods, and community spirit.
Excitement for the market continues to grow following four consecutive record-breaking years, including surpassing $3 million in sales for the first time in 2025. The market has also been nominated for Best Farmers Market in the USA Today 10BEST Reader’s Choice Awards, currently holding fourth place.
This season, the market will expand onto the A Street Promenade creating a new walkable space for shopping and enjoying a Saturday morning in Downtown Bentonville.
“We are heading into the 2026 outdoor season with more momentum than ever, and we could not be more excited to bring it all back to the historic square,” said Farmers Market Director Dylan Taylor. “The addition of the A Street Promenade is a milestone for our market and our community, and we think vendors and shoppers alike are going to love what we have in store this season.”
Opening day will feature free Kids Club at the Market activities celebrating Earth Day, along with live music from local musician Ashtyn Barbaree.
