As part of an ongoing series with Downtown East Lansing, this month GLAMoms had the opportunity to learn more about the City of East Lansing Farmers Market! Along with local and fresh fruits and vegetables, they have a lot of activities and themed markets planned for the 2025 season. The perfect spot to spend some time with your family!
Learn why Sundays are the place to be Downtown East Lansing!
East Lansing’s Farmers Market Is a Great Spot for Families!
Fresh Food & Local Flavor: Enjoy locally grown produce, baked goods, meats, cheeses, and specialty foods—all while teaching kids where their food comes from.
Kid-Friendly Vibes: Many vendors offer samples, and there’s often live music, green space nearby, and occasional themed events that make it fun for little ones.
Visit the East Lansing Farmers Market Facebook Page for the weekly vendor list!
Community Connection: See familiar faces and meet local farmers, makers, and neighbors. It’s an easy way to feel part of something local and good.
Just steps away from Downtown East Lansing where you can grab lunch and either dine in or carry out. There is something for everyone and the GLAMoms Guide to Kid-Friendly Dining Downtown East Lansing can help!
Sunday Tradition: Held weekly from June through October, it’s a great low-key outing to wind down the weekend or stock up for the week ahead.
Stay in the know with everything happening at the East Lansing Farmers Market including vendor updates, introductions, upcoming activities, events and more. Subscribe to their e-newsletter so you do not miss a thing!
Location Perks: It’s in Valley Court Park—walkable from downtown, with spots to picnic, toss a frisbee, or just lounge with the kids.
