2026 Sanford Farmers’ Market Special Events “Art Meets Ag” Event Series​! While every market day is exciting, we will have “extra special” market events each month that celebrate the seasons as well as local agriculture and arts in our community! At these special “Art Meets Ag” events, you’ll get to enjoy a variety of family-fun activities involving food, art, dance, music, and more, all centered around celebrating local foods and agriculture. With our market’s transition over to the Pilgrim’s Sanford Agricultural Marketplace this year, there will be even more space to offer these special events in a beautiful, brand new home! The Sanford Farmers Market is held on Saturdays 8:30AM-12Pm at the Pilgrim’s Sanford Agricultural Marketplace.
