How To Get There 

Located in the center of Downtown Des Moines’ (DSM's) Historic Court District, the Downtown Farmers’ Market is easy to spot once you’re in the city. If the Market goers strolling toward the center of the activity don’t tip you off, then the Polk County Courthouse will. Find the courthouse’s distinctive grey peaked roof and you’ve found The Market. There is plenty of parking, both free and paid options, for all Market goers. With a bike valet, several parking garages and a variety of surrounding roads, The Market is easily accessible.
