The 2026-2027 Winter Old Capitol Farmers Market is back for another amazing season — and stay tuned, as our team is working to bring new surprises and family fun to this indoor/outdoor event!
The Winter Old Capitol Farmers Market is open the first and third Saturdays of the month from November to April. The event is held at Union Station (500 East Madison St. across from the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum) from 8 a.m. until noon. There will not be a Winter Old Capitol Farmers Market on December 5, however, as it's the day of the Illinois Product Holiday Market. (We invite you to support our friends at the Illinois Department of Agriculture in the same convenient location that day!)
