Dane County Farmers' Market: Your Complete Guide

What started with just five farmers in 1972 has grown into a beloved institution attracting 10,000-15,000 visitors weekly during peak season, with over 150 vendors completely encircling Capitol Square. For families, the market delivers far more than groceries—it's an immersive morning adventure featuring squeaky cheese curds, legendary cheese bread, street musicians, and the grandeur of Wisconsin's granite-domed Capitol building.
