HILO'S FARMER'S MARKET
HILO, HAWAII'S BIG ISLAND
The festive Hilo’s Farmer’s Market is known as one of the best open markets in Hawaii. You can never tell what you’ll find at this colorful market, but it’s safe to say you’ll probably see things you’ve never seen before. The Chinese say you live a hundred days for every new thing you taste – so live a little. Spread that guava jam on a cracker, buy a red rambutan, or ask about those ultra-long green beans.
Open year round every Wednesday and Saturday, food is only part of the fun. Big buckets of orchids and anthuriums line the stalls. Wind chimes, etched glass, and koa wood treasures fill the craft section. You can even find local t-shirts, tropical fashions, and handmade jewelry. Get there early to get the best choices from the market’s over 200 vendors.
