Kapaa Farmers Markets: Which Day, Where to Go and What to Shop For
AI-generated illustration.
Looking for a Kapaa farmers market? Choose by day: the Kapaa Sunshine Market is on Wednesday from 3–4:30 pm at Kapaa Ball Park. Coconut Marketplace’s Farmers’ Market is on Tuesday and Thursday from 9 am–1 pm in its front parking lot. These are separate markets, so save the location along with the day and time.
Wednesday: Kapaa Sunshine Market
The County of Kauai lists the Wednesday market at Kapaa Ball Park and recommends arriving early for the best choice of produce. Its 3–4:30 pm window suits an afternoon shopping stop; leave enough time to browse before closing.
The County’s Sunshine Markets listings include fruit, vegetables, herbs, fresh-cut coconut, honey and flowers. Its Kauai Made vendor listings also include eggs, meat and baked goods. Those lists cover the program county-wide, so don’t count on every item being offered at Kapaa on a particular Wednesday.
Tuesday and Thursday: Coconut Marketplace
Coconut Marketplace lists its market from 9 am–1 pm on Tuesday and Thursday in the front parking lot at 4-484 Kūhiō Highway, Kapaʻa, Hawaiʻi 96746. Choose this market if you want to shop in the morning or around midday.
Its advertised selection includes Kauaʻi-grown fruits, vegetables and flowers, plus ready-made snacks, handmade pastries and handmade gifts. That makes it an option if your shopping plans include both produce and gifts. The organizer encourages shoppers to arrive on time because produce can go quickly.
Coconut Marketplace says the outdoor market runs rain or shine. Keep your shopping list flexible rather than relying on finding a particular item.
Before you set out
Check the County’s Sunshine Markets page or Coconut Marketplace’s Farmers’ Market page for the current schedule before finalizing your day. Coconut Marketplace also directs visitors to its social updates and latest Calendar of Events flyer. If you need to use a particular payment method, ask the organizer before making a special trip.
