Grand Haven, MI (WGHN) – The Grand Haven Farmers Market has long been a cornerstone of our community. A vibrant gathering place where residents and visitors connect with local
farmers, vendors, and fresh seasonal goods. It’s a place where traditions are shared and the spirit of Grand Haven truly shines.
As the City of Grand Haven moves forward with the exciting redevelopment of the Chinook Pier area, The Chamber is thrilled to announce the next chapter for the Grand Haven
Farmers Market. Construction on the project is anticipated to begin in the spring of 2026. Both The Chamber and the City of Grand Haven are working closely together to ensure a smooth transition and a successful market season during the redevelopment process. With the start of the new market year, The Chamber will transition market operations to a group of current farmers
market vendors who will take on management of the market supporting its continued success with strong leadership and community connection.
Efforts are already underway to identify and secure a temporary location for the Farmers Market during the 2026 season, ensuring the market remains an accessible and thriving part of the downtown experience.
“The Grand Haven Farmers Market is more than a shopping destination, it’s a gathering place that connects our community,” said Mark Allen, President & CEO of The Chamber. “While we look forward to the exciting changes coming to Chinook Pier, we remain dedicated during this time of growth and transition to supporting our local farmers and vendors who make the market so special.”
The redevelopment of Chinook Pier represents an exciting investment in the future of downtown Grand Haven, one that will enhance public spaces, strengthen local commerce,
and create new opportunities for community connection. The Chamber and City are enthusiastic about how these improvements will shape the next generation of the Farmers
Market experience.
“The market has been a cornerstone of our community for decades,” said Ashley Latsch, Grand Haven City Manager. “This redevelopment marks a new era for both the market and
our downtown, and we are excited to see how it continues to grow and flourish.”
Additional details about the market’s future location and plans for the 2026 season will be shared as they become available.
