Beloit Farmers' Market

Saturdays, May 4- October 26, 2024

8 am - 1 pm

300 block of State, 400 block of E. Grand

Shop in a wonderful open-air market in the heart of historic Downtown Beloit. An award-winning community tradition spanning almost 50 years, with vendors selling local produce, organics, baked goods, honey, jams & jellies, herbs, bedding plants, meat, eggs & cheese, fresh flowers, artisan crafts, scents & skin care. “Meet me at State & Grand!”

Our market gladly accepts SNAP and WIC! The market will be held rain or shine. No pets allowed.

SSM Health is continuing their partnership with the Beloit farmers' market to support their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) program. 

This partnership will provide an additional $15 to SNAP users a month, on top of their pre-existing benefits. People can then exchange this for market tokens to pay vendors with for EBT-approved food products.

Questions while you are at the market? Stop at our Information Booth, located at the intersection of State and Grand

May Exhibits

Discover the vibrant artwork of Lynda Wallis and Lois Hoveke in the Sveum Gallery. Friends since childhood, they've spent years immersed in their shared love for plants and art. Having a gallery show together decades after becoming friends in 4th grade is something neither of them saw coming - they’re both delighted.

We’re thrilled to welcome Paul Lindquist to the Bell Gallery this May. Paul, known for his stunning nature photography, has expanded into capturing portraits of loved ones and sporting events.

Wright Museum of Art Beloit College

Saturday, June 1

5-6:30 pm

700 College Street

The Wright Museum of Art is proud to showcase the 66th Annual Beloit & Vicinity Exhibition, one of the oldest continuous juried art competitions in the state of Wisconsin. Special thanks to this year’s jurors, Colin Matthes, Director of the UW-Parkside Gallery and Roberto Torres Mata, multidisciplinary artist, who have selected a diverse range of mediums and subjects to create interesting exhibition.

Also on view, the winner of the 65th Annual Beloit & Vicinity’s solo show. Step into Leah Mitchell's whimsical world of confections and confessions, where doughnuts become haute couture and laughter mixes with introspection. Mitchell's vibrant paintings playfully explore the fine line between being a consumer and being consumed. Beneath the sugary surface of doughnut couture lies a thoughtful exploration of societal expectations of femininity and the empty allure of consumer culture. Join us for a delightful journey where pink frosting meets profound reflection, challenging us to rethink the sweet promises of modernity.

Visitors can see the exhibits through July 20. Museum hours are Tuesdays through Saturdays from 11 a.m. — 4 p.m. The Wright Museum of Art is located on the corner of Bushnell and Prospect Street on the south side of the Beloit College campus. The museum is free and open to the public. For more information, visit the Wright Museum of Art’s Facebook page.
