The Bloomington farmers market is hosted outdoors each Saturday from May through October.

The City of Bloomington's annual Thanksgiving farmers market is moving to the Bloomington Center for the Performing Arts this year due to a hockey game conflict.

It will be held from 9 a.m. to noon Nov. 23.

The indoor market has historically been held at Grossinger Motors Arena, but the arena is hosting two Bloomington Bison games that weekend, on Nov. 22 and 23.

The city’s indoor market is held on the third Saturday each month at the arena from November through April. Its outdoor market is held on the downtown square each Saturday from May through October.

The city plans to host its holiday farmers’ market at Grossinger on Dec. 21 and continue its indoor season there through April 2025.

The Bison, an expansion team in the ECHL, has 36 home dates in its inaugural season that runs through early April.
