What to know before you go

• Bring cash. Many vendors accept cards/Venmo now but not all.
• Bring a tote. Hawaii banned single-use plastic bags in 2020 — you'll get charged for paper or pay 15 cents for plastic.
• Go early. The best produce sells out by 10am at Saturday markets.
• Free samples are real. Especially fruit (lilikoi, rambutan, dragon fruit, apple bananas) — vendors want you to try before you buy.
• Eat breakfast there. Hot Hawaiian breakfast plates ($10–15) at KCC, Kailua, and Kapaa markets are some of the best food on the islands at half the restaurant price.

What's in season when

• Mango — May through September.
• Lychee — June through August.
• Rambutan — June through October.
• Dragon fruit (pitaya) — May through November.
• Lilikoi (passion fruit) — June through January.

Schedules drift, especially around holidays. Check the venue's social media before you drive across the island — markets occasionally cancel for rain or special events. And see our Oahu events calendar for special edition farmers markets, food festivals, and farm tours throughout the year.
