Visitor Information
Getting to the Market
The market is easily accessible on foot, by car or bike, or with public transportation. We are located just over the Burlington/Winooski bridge at the bottom of the Winooski Rotary. See below for information about our ample parking. The market is a direct stop on the Green Mountain Transit lines through Winooski (#2 on Sundays) via the Spinner Place/Winooski Falls at Champlain Mill stops.
Parking
The market is conveniently located directly across the street from the Winooski Parking Garage! To access the garage, enter with your vehicle on Cascade Way. There is a pedestrian exit directly to Winooski Falls Way. There is also street parking along Winooski Falls Way. There are several disabled parking spaces directly adjacent to the market on the street. All city parking — both street and garage — is always free on Sundays (market day). If you park in the street spots by the market, please be sure to move your vehicle promptly after 2pm so our vendors may use these spots to load out. There are also numerous bike racks at the market site for bike parking.
Payment Options
The majority of vendors accept debit and credit card payments. Some vendors are able to accept Apple Pay, Venmo, and other electronic payment methods. However, there are always exceptions and it’s usually a good idea to bring some cash. Often, vendors appreciate cash or app payments where they may not need to pay processing fees.
All vendors accept cash! If you don’t have cash on you, you are welcome to purchase $5 Market Tokens at the Manager’s Booth using a debit or credit card. $5 tokens are accepted by all vendors and are treated as cash, including receiving change back. There is a $1 processing fee when you purchase tokens to cover the Square fees and help us operate this service. Tokens may not be returned or exchanged back to the market, but never expire and may be used in any future season.
The market is happy to accept SNAP/3SquaresVT benefits in exchange for $1 Market Tokens. If you receive food benefits, please bring your benefit card to the Manager’s Booth to get your funds converted for use with the vendors. $1 Market Tokens are different than the $5 variety and are limited to use on produce and grocery items. $1 tokens cannot be used to purchase alcohol, supplements, or hot, ready-to-eat foods. Tokens never expire and may be used in any future season. For information about applying for 3SquaresVT/SNAP benefits, please visit the Vermont Foodbank website or call the VT Foodbank 3SquaresVT team at 1-855-855-6181.
We proudly participate in the Crop Cash and Farm to Family programs. Crop Cash is a nutrition incentive program of NOFA-VT that is matches your spending when you exchange your SNAP/3SquaresVT benefits for tokens at the market. Farm to Family is a program from the Department of Children and Family Services that provides a booklet of $6 coupons to those eligible via income limit or WIC enrollment. Coupons are not distributed by the market, but may be brought and used directly with participating vendors. Both currencies may only be used for fresh produce.
Accessibility
The market is located outdoors on ground level around the corner from a busy traffic circle. The majority of vendors are on brick and concrete sidewalks but some are on the grass. We map a six foot minimum corridor for visitor movement between vendors. If you need assistance reaching a vendor, please come to the Manager’s Booth and we’ll be happy to assist you. There is limited picnic table seating available at the market. There are several disabled parking spaces directly adjacent to the market on Winooski Falls Way, as well as in the Winooski Parking Garage across the street. There is a gender neutral accessible bathroom located across the street at the pedestrian entrance to the Parking Garage. There is live music in the market space every week from 11am-1pm. For questions or access needs, please feel free to contact us.
