The Cane River Green Market takes place each Saturday starting in late April through July on the downtown riverbank in Historic Natchitoches. There are also special harvest markets each fall.

Besides fresh fruits, herbs, vegetables and plants, customers can choose from a selection of “value-added products” including farm fresh eggs, homemade breads, jams, jellies, pickles, honey and much more. Crafters sell their hand-made items every Saturday during the season. The market features one-of-a kind items such as woodwork, art, jewelry, stained glass, furniture and bird houses.

Live entertainment can be enjoyed every Saturday on the scenic bank of beautiful Cane River Lake. Children's activities and special programming such as educational speakers, demonstrations and interactive activities are offered at each market. All activities of the Green Market are free to the public.

We value our patrons at the Cane River Green Market. Make sure you stop by our tent and enjoy free coffee or lemonade. Also pick up a free copy of Louisiana Cooking magazine or other "freebies". Get a frequent shopper card and work your way towards a free gift certificate.

Remember, buy fresh and buy local.
