There are three Saturdays left to shop the Doylestown Farmers Market on South Hamilton Street this season, then a new address. After 51 years on Hamilton Street, the market plans to open its 2027 season on Saturday, April 17, at 10 Doyle St. and Broad Commons Park, the borough park with a Fonthill Castle-inspired playground, the Doylestown-Buckingham Record reported on Nov. 3, 2026, and BUCKSCO.Today reported as well. The market's own website still lists the Hamilton Street location for 2026 and has not yet posted the move.
According to the Doylestown-Buckingham Record and BUCKSCO.Today, organizers say the stretch of South Hamilton Street between West State Street and West Oakland Avenue no longer has room for more vendors, larger stalls or the gathering space shoppers have asked for, and that parking is limited and restrooms have relied on temporary setups. The market's website does not yet spell out the reasons in its own words.
Doylestown Borough lists Broad Commons Park at 10 Doyle St. with a Fonthill Castle-inspired play area, walking trails, benches, a picnic grove and a plaza with Mercer pillars and a small fountain, plus parking and permanent public restrooms across the street at Borough Hall. The Doylestown-Buckingham Record and BUCKSCO.Today report that organizers chose the park for dedicated parking, permanent restrooms and more room for vendors and shoppers.
The market dates to 1975 and was run by the Buckingham Township Civic Association until the Bucks County Foodshed Alliance took it over in 2017, and its About page calls it the oldest continually operating farmers market in the county. Vendors either grow what they sell or make it from local ingredients, and the market's website lists produce, mushrooms and microgreens alongside artisan pasta, pierogis, baked goods, local meats, kombucha, wine and spirits, flowers and even treats for your dog. The market also accepts EBT/SNAP at its green tent. What organizers haven't said yet is how many stalls the bigger site will hold or how many will go to new vendors, so that is the next thing to watch before April.
