The Swissvale Farmers Market

The Swissvale Farmers Market will be hosted in a new location with a shorter timeframe for the 2026 season. Starting June 6, 2026 the Swissvale Farmers Market will be hosted in the CLASS Facility upper parking lot from 9AM to 12pm every Saturday starting June 6 and ending October 25. The address is 1400 S Braddock Ave, Swissvale, PA 15218.

We are excited about a new partnership with CLASS and plan to expand our partnership with the Park Rangers as well this season due to the proximity to Frick Park. In addition to these new opportunities, the market is moving for reasons that focus on improving the vendor experience based directly on our vendors’ feedback.

This will grow our vendor selection: we are limited in our vendor choices on school grounds. In this new location, we can host small wineries and breweries that are not currently permitted on school grounds. The new location will continue to be on the 61B bus line and will have accessible parking available for free. You could visit the park in the same trip as the market. It makes a great small Saturday Outing!

Our market will be more visible along a main multi-community artery. We anticipate this will increase attendance. Our attendance dropped drastically in August of 2025 and we’ve lost beloved vendors this year {Chagnara Farms</3). We are hoping this adjustment will lead to a surge in our regulars patrons, whether you are driving, walking or busing. Supporting local farms and small businesses is the key to creating a sustainable and resilient community. We know our community holds those same values.

If you feel passionate about this decision or want to be the one to make the decisions, we have great news- we are currently recruiting board members. There is a listing on Non Profit Talent. We are a volunteer Board. We’d love your help creating a better market experience for everyone. We are also currently accepting applications for: musicians, community tables, vendors, food trucks, and board members! Let’s chat and see if you’d make a good addition to our SFM Family.

Questions? Want to be more involved this year? Interested in learning about the board? Let us know!
