It can be confusing! There are two outdoor markets that occur in Whitewater from May through October. They occur at essentially the same place, but on different days.

Whitewater City Market – Tuesdays, 4-7 p.m. – The market, built to celebrate local foods, products, and community, opens for its ninth season on May 7. It sets up around the Historic Train Depot, 301 W Whitewater Street, with a few of the vendors, including ready-to-eat foods, being located in the parking lot adjacent to the depot. The City Market is located at the Irvin L. Young Library on Saturdays from November through April. For further details please see this May 4 post.

Whitewater Farmers Market – Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. – This is a smaller, producer only market featuring produce, baked goods, and the like. It is located in the parking lot next to the Historic Train Depot, 301 W. Whitewater St. The market opened for the season on May 4. Though in its 33rd year, this market wasn’t always at this location. Sometimes a farmer will sell directly from the bed of their pickup truck.
