Straight answer, first
Who organizes the De Pere farmers market?
The Downtown De Pere Farmers Market is organized and operated by Downtown De Pere, the organization dedicated to De Pere's downtown district. They set the season, recruit the vendors, run the plaza, and publish the current details each year.
The De Pere Area Chamber of Commerce is a separate organization — a membership association that has served De Pere businesses since 1895. We're civic partners with Downtown De Pere, and we keep this guide so you land in the right place.

Common questions
Farmers market FAQ
Straight answers, with the details credited to the people who run it.
When is the De Pere farmers market?
The Downtown De Pere Farmers Market runs on Thursdays, June through September, from mid-afternoon into the evening. Hours tighten late in the season, so check the current schedule at downtowndepere.com — Downtown De Pere publishes the official dates each year.
Where is the De Pere farmers market located?
At George Street Plaza in downtown De Pere — on George Street between Wisconsin Street and Broadway, a short walk from the Fox River. Downtown's shops and restaurants surround the plaza, which is half the fun.
Does the chamber run the De Pere farmers market?
No. The market is organized and operated by Downtown De Pere, the organization dedicated to De Pere's downtown district — not the De Pere Area Chamber of Commerce. We're civic partners and happy neighbors, but for market questions, vendors, and schedules, downtowndepere.com is the source.
What will I find at the market?
Local produce growers, bakers, honey and egg producers, artisan food makers, and handmade goods vendors from the De Pere and greater Brown County area — plus food trucks, live music, and kids' activities on the plaza. Leashed dogs are welcome. The vendor lineup changes week to week; Downtown De Pere posts the current list.
What's the difference between the chamber and Downtown De Pere?
The De Pere Area Chamber of Commerce is a membership association founded in 1895 — 290+ member businesses, year-round networking, advocacy, and 25+ community events a year. Downtown De Pere is the organization dedicated to the downtown district: it runs the farmers market, coordinates downtown happenings, and supports the storefronts along Broadway and George Street. The two are partners with the same goal — a thriving De Pere — and operate independently.
What chamber events happen in De Pere?
The chamber's own calendar runs all year: Art in the Park fills Voyageur Park with 4,000+ neighbors every June, the Annual Golf Outing tees off at Mid Vallee each August, and monthly networking events keep the business community connected. Current dates are always on the De Pere events calendar.
