This was a farmers market Hawaiian style. There were lots of fruits and vegetables that we don’t usually see. If you are buying fresh produce while you are on the island this is a good place. Across the street vendors were selling other products like clothing, art and jewlery. It was interesting to look at

I love the old small town quaintness of downtown Hilo. At one end is the farmers market that features a number of stalls featuring a treasure of locally grown fruits, vegetables and produce as well as local crafts, flowers and herbs. Great place to go and stock up on goodies at the end of your downtown visit.

Great place to grab food or produce. Local wares, Asian treats, and junk all for sale in a compact area. Affordable compared to prices at restaurants. Grab something to go and eat it across the street oceanside. We came back 3 times during our 10 days mainly for food.

Our family visited the Hilo Farmers Market on a Saturday which is a bigger market day. There is an onsite parking lot but it was full. There is plenty of free street parking in the area and we found a spot after driving around a bit. We ate at the onsite restaurant which was busy but not an excessive wait. There are crafts and merchandise on one side of the street and food on the other. We enjoyed walking through both areas. We didn’t buy much of anything but enjoyed the experience of the market.
