City Market, Marketplace in the River Market neighborhood, Kansas City, Missouri, United States.
City Market operates as a year-round gathering spot where vendors sell fresh produce, specialty groceries, artisan goods, and handcrafted items across indoor and outdoor stalls spanning several city blocks.
Established over 150 years ago in the mid-1800s, City Market has served as a commercial center for Kansas City, evolving from a traditional farmers' market into a mixed-use district that retains its historic function.
The market reflects Kansas City's diverse population through vendors offering international foods, regional specialties, and artisanal products, with seasonal events and live entertainment fostering community connections and celebrating local traditions throughout the year.
City Market opens daily from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., with the farmers' market most active on weekend mornings when local growers and specialty vendors set up their stalls in the outdoor areas.
The Arabia Steamboat Museum stands nearby, displaying thousands of artifacts recovered from an 1856 steamboat that sank in the Missouri River and was excavated more than a century later with its cargo intact.
