Start Your Weekend at the River Vale Farmers Market!
Last week may have been rainy, but that didn’t stop so many of you from coming out to enjoy the market with us! The energy, community, music, and support for our local vendors made it such a fun afternoon — and if you skipped last week because of the weather, tomorrow is your chance to experience it all. ☀️🌿
There’s truly something special about a farmers market in May and early summer. Fresh strawberries are finally here, gardens are blooming, music fills the air, and the market becomes a place where neighbors gather, families relax, kids play, and everyone can slow down and enjoy a beautiful afternoon outdoors. Whether you’re shopping for fresh ingredients, grabbing dinner, listening to live music, or simply soaking up the atmosphere, the market is the perfect place to spend your Thursday.
Join us Thursday, May 28, 2026 from 1PM–6PM at 406 Rivervale Rd, River Vale, NJ 07675 for another incredible market day filled with local flavor, fresh food, shopping, music, and community fun for all ages.

It’s a great way for kids to burn some energy and have even more fun while families enjoy the market.
There’s simply no better place in Bergen County to enjoy a Thursday afternoon. Fresh air, live music, amazing local food, shopping small, supporting farmers, and spending time with friends and family — it’s what community is all about.
Bring the kids, bring your friends, grab dinner, stroll the market, and enjoy a relaxing evening with us. We can’t wait to see everyone tomorrow!
