Join us for a full day of fun activities at the Des Moines Waterfront Farmers Market and Waterland Festival & Parade.
The Des Moines Waterfront Farmers Market is proud to feature Kids’ Day at the Market. Aspiring Young Entrepreneurs ages 9–17 will sell their handcrafted items; look for booths marked "Kids’ Booth" to support our Youth Vendors. There is always an abundant selection of local fresh produce, flowers, breads, meat, honey, artisan food, art, jewelry, food trucks and so much more!
