Mercy Market’s 2026 season kicks off in just one month—and we can’t wait to welcome you back!

Join us every Saturday from June 6 through October 10 as we celebrate the incredible local growers, makers, and creators who bring our market to life.

You’ll find a vibrant mix of locally sourced meats, fresh produce, baked goods, drinks, handmade art, and live music each week. We’ll also have monthly bounce houses and plenty of fun activities for kids sprinkled throughout the season.

One of the highlights of Mercy Market is our LINK booth. Guests can use their LINK card to receive tokens for purchases at our market, the Downtown Decatur Farmers Market, and the Richland Farmers Market. Even better, every dollar swiped is matched with coupons to use on fresh produce—making it easier for everyone to enjoy healthy, local food.

We’re proud to support our local growers and makers, and we’re counting down the days until we can gather again. See you this summer! 🌱
