3 Great Farmers Markets To Check Out Near Waikiki

Author 08-04-2022

When visiting Waikiki, it’s tremendous fun to experience locally produced foods and goods. Just outside of Waikiki there are three weekly farmers markets (“Open” or “Peoples” Markets as the locals say) that you can browse and shop at. Each market is located in a separate spot and they all open on different days, so read on to learn more about what each one has to offer.

1. Honolulu Farmers Market

With over 30 vendors with products ranging from coffee to boba tea to dog treats, there’s an incredible variety of thing to check out at the Honolulu Farmers Market sponsored by the Hawaii Farm Bureau. Not only is everything found at this farmers market exciting and delicious (minus the dog treats for people), but many of the vendors have superbly charming names to match the appeal of their products. Sweet Revenge, for example, is a vendor that bakes delicious homemade pies from seasonal, locally sourced fruits and vegetables.

Check out the Honolulu Farmers Market website to see more vendors from this delightful market!

2. KCC Farmers Market

KCC Farmers Market won the KITV4 Best of Hawaii competition for both 2020 and 2021. With over 75 vendors stocking this massive market, it’s easy to see why. You’ll see a lot of familiar faces and displays here as you would at the Honolulu Farmers Market, but also just a ton more options to explore and delicious places to eat at. One great item that’s sold by several different vendors is honey! As many as five separate vendors have this golden goo available for purchase along with jams and jellies made from local fruits. There’s also more than just edible products at KCC, as you can find locally produced skin care products such as sunscreens and lotions at a few booths.
