Here’s the summer farmers’ market calendar for Coeur d’Alene based on the current listings I found: the main recurring markets are the 5th Street Farmers Market downtown on Wednesdays and the Kootenai County Farmers Market in Riverstone on Wednesdays, with the Kootenai County Saturday market in nearby Hayden also part of the summer market circuit.
Coeur d’Alene summer markets
| Market | Day | Time | Location | Summer season |
| 5th Street Farmers Market | Wednesday | 4:00 pm–7:00 pm | 5th & Sherman Ave., downtown Coeur d’Alene | May through September |
| Kootenai County Farmers Market | Wednesday | 4:00 pm–7:00 pm | Riverstone, Coeur d’Alene | May through October |
| Kootenai County Farmers Market | Saturday | 9:00 am–1:30 pm | Highway 95 & Prairie Ave., Hayden | May through October |
What that means for summer
If you want a simple summer plan, you can count on a Wednesday market in Coeur d’Alene every week from both the downtown 5th Street market and the Riverstone Kootenai County market. The downtown 5th Street market is listed as running through September, while the Kootenai County market continues into October, so both are active throughout the summer months.
Notes
The downtown Coeur d’Alene 5th Street market is listed at 5th & Sherman Ave., and the Kootenai County Wednesday market is listed in Riverstone. The Saturday Kootenai County market is not in downtown Coeur d’Alene, but it is the other major nearby summer farmers’ market many people include when planning a CDA-area market visit.
Would you like this turned into a week-by-week calendar for June, July, and August?
Can you elaborate a little more and see if you can grab some images off of Facebook or the web for the farmers market, vendors people, etc.

You can absolutely get a richer feel for the markets—both the scene and the vendors—and I’ve pulled some representative visuals plus a bit more color on what to expect at each Coeur d’Alene–area market.
5th Street Farmers Market (Downtown CDA)
Farmers market street scene
The 5th Street Farmers Market is the downtown, street-style market with white pop‑up tents lining 5th Street and Sherman, framed by brick buildings and lake views in the distance.
You’ll see a mix of farmers and growers, vintage and craft vendors, candles, flowers, street food, and live music—organized by the Coeur d’Alene Downtown Association, with a strong emphasis on local producers but also lifestyle and artisan booths.
The market typically features around 80 vendors, including fresh flowers, local eats, handcrafted art, and live music, making it a very social, walkable evening scene.
Families and visitors stroll with kids, dogs, and shopping bags; marketing materials show parents and children with baskets of flowers under the “5th St Farmers Market” banner, capturing that relaxed, small‑town summer vibe.
Kootenai County Farmers Market – Riverstone (CDA Wednesdays)

The Riverstone Wednesday market is more of a village plaza feel—vendors set up along Main Street in Riverstone, with live music under tents and people lounging or shopping around the green.
It’s framed as a place to experience the best of North Idaho’s local produce and artisanal crafts, with seasonal fruits and vegetables, flowers and plants, handmade bread and cheese, locally sourced meats, and craft items.
Families walk the path between stalls; photos show parents with kids, strollers, and shoppers browsing red‑canopy booths lined with plants and local goods in an informal, tree‑lined setting.
You can expect consistent live music and events throughout the summer, with scheduled performances on both Wednesday and Saturday market days.
Kootenai County Farmers Market – Prairie & Hwy 95 (Saturday)

The Saturday market at Hwy 95 & Prairie has a more country‑market atmosphere: dirt or gravel paths, tall pines, and a large red‑roofed structure with vegetable stalls under the “Royal Highlands / Coeur d’Alene, Idaho” sign.
Opening‑day and promo photos show a wooden “FARMER’S MARKET / WELCOME” archway leading into the market, with people, benches, trees, wagons, and stalls inside—very classic rural farmers‑market imagery.
Visitors move between produce tables loaded with carrots, greens, and other farm goods, talking directly with growers; this is the most farm‑centric of the three markets, with a strong focus on vegetables, dairy, meats, baked goods, and flowers.
Recent posts highlight holiday and seasonal events (like July 4th celebrations with live music), emphasizing it as a community hub for fresh food and local culture.
