Fall Fun and a Furry Finale at the Ellington Farmers Market

As the outdoor season draws to a close, the Ellington Farmers Market is going out in style with two festive October Saturdays you won’t want to miss!

Visit the market on Saturday, October 18 for a gourd-geous fall celebration celebrating all things autumn in New England. From hearty winter squash to decorative pumpkins and cozy baked goods, the market will be overflowing with the comforting flavors of the season. Enjoy farm-fresh produce, fall-inspired treats, and warming dishes that make October mornings extra special. Click Here for a complete list of vendors

Live music from The Acoustic Fever Trio will fill the air, creating the perfect soundtrack for a relaxing morning. Bring a lawn chair, sip a hot drink, and soak in the crisp fall vibes while supporting your favorite local vendors.
Don’t forget—the market continues to double SNAP and FMNP vouchers, making it a great opportunity to stock up on fall favorites while supporting Connecticut farms.

Then, mark your calendars for Saturday, October 25, when the market wraps up its outdoor season with the annual Halloween Pet Parade and Costume Contest! Dress your pets in their most creative costumes and join the fun—registration opens early and the parade and judging begin at 11 AM. Prizes will be awarded for the best-dressed pets, and the morning always brings laughter, wagging tails, and community spirit.

Enjoy live music from The Free Range Humans, grab a hot brunch from No Coast Taqueria, and shop the final outdoor market of the year—filled with CT Grown produce, local foods, and handcrafted goods just in time for fall.

Market hours are 9 AM to 12 PM at 72 Maple Street, Ellington.
After October 25, the market takes a short break before moving indoors—the Winter Market begins November 22 at Ellington High School.

Celebrate fall, community, and another fantastic outdoor season at the Ellington Farmers Market!
