The Best Markets In Lexington, Kentucky

Nina Ariana

Lexington is known for its great food and local art scene. In order to appreciate all that the city has to offer, here are five of the best markets to visit.

Farmer’s Market l

1. Lexington Farmers' Market

Farmers' Market, Market, Vegetarian, Street Food

Lexington Farmers’ Market is a long-standing market, featuring a variety of local vendors. This much-loved neighborhood affair brings together all different types of farmers and craftsmen. The market holds itself to high standards, and space for new vendors is very limited and selective. The crops on display include sweetcorn, tomatoes, meats, honey and a variety of freshly baked goods.

Opening hours: 8am-1pm

2. Bluegrass Farmers' Market
