November doesn’t mean the end of farmers market season in the Twin Cities. Minneapolis, Mill City, and Saint Paul markets still have weekend dates ahead, with indoor winter options and late-season outdoor shopping.
Minneapolis Farmers Market keeps weekend shopping going
The Lyndale location has several November weekends left on its calendar. At 312 East Lyndale Avenue North, the Minneapolis Farmers Market lists Saturday and Sunday hours from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. for November, with dates on November 14–15 and 21–22. That gives shoppers more than one chance to stop by before the month ends. The market’s schedule shifts in December, when it lists select Saturday dates and shorter hours, so November visitors should use the dates posted for this month when making plans. Checking the market’s calendar before leaving can help confirm the latest hours and avoid arriving on a day when it is closed.
Mill City moves indoors for its winter market
Cold-weather market shopping continues inside Mill City Museum. Mill City Farmers Market holds its indoor winter market on the first and third Saturdays of each month from November through April, running from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Because the first Saturday in November has already passed, the next listed market date this month is Saturday, November 21. Shoppers can visit for groceries as well as handmade gifts and goods from local artists. The museum says its admission is not required to enter the market. The winter schedule offers a regular monthly rhythm, but it has fewer dates than the market’s outdoor season, so it helps to check the calendar before planning a visit.
Saint Paul offers indoor weekend market shopping
The Saint Paul Farmers Market has a downtown indoor location at 308 Prince Street East, adding a year-round option alongside its outdoor Lowertown market. The indoor market’s weekend hours are listed as 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. For November, the organizer’s calendar also lists outdoor Lowertown dates on November 14 and 15. These are two different market locations, so visitors should confirm which one they intend to visit before setting out. The indoor market is part of the market’s expanded downtown presence and offers a way to shop local beyond the outdoor season. Hours and event listings can vary by location and date.
November still has several dates to choose from
The remaining market calendar is spread across the weekends of November 14–15 and November 21–22. Minneapolis lists both weekends at its Lyndale location, while the Saint Paul Farmers Market lists its outdoor Lowertown location for November 14 and 15 and has an indoor weekend market at 308 Prince Street East. Mill City’s next November market is Saturday, November 21. Neighborhood Roots also lists a winter market at Bachman’s on Saturday, November 14, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Since each market follows its own seasonal calendar, checking the specific location and date is the simplest way to plan a visit.
