Mother’s Day Weekend at Dallas Farmers Market | Live Music, Kids Activities & Local Shopping

Not that we want to assume too much, but we’re guessing you might still be searching for that perfect gift for mom. We get it. But we’ll let you in on a little secret – all she really wants are moments with you. This Mother’s Day weekend, give her the gift of making memories together at the Dallas Farmers Market. From fresh blooms and delicious eats to live music and local treats, stroll the DFM and take time to make her feel extra special.

Your first chance to wow mom is Friday, May 8, when M.A.D.E. Market returns! Join us in Pearl St. Plaza from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. to shop art, ceramics, handcrafted gifts, vintage finds, clothing, and more, under the glow of the Dallas skyline. There’s also live music from Jai White, happy hour specials, food trucks, yard games, and photo ops, making it the perfect way to kick off her weekend.

For something a little extra, there’s Afternoon Tea at Pearl St. Plaza (hosted by The RX Tea Shop) from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, May 9. This garden-style gathering blends premium loose-leaf teas with a curated selection of pastries, sweets, and savory bites from some of the DFM’s favorite vendors. For more information and to purchase tickets for this limited-seating event, please visit here.

For family fun on Saturday, May 9, and Sunday, May 10, join our Kids’ Activity from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., featuring DIY Mother’s Day Cards and Tea Towels, and Window on the Wild from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Balloon Art by Bender will entertain all weekend long, and face painting will be in The Shed on Mother’s Day from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

While time is preferred, a gift along with the experience is nice too. Visit Nikki Smith Designs at The Shops of Harvest Lofts from Friday, May 8, to Sunday, May 10, and celebrate Mother’s Day with a BOGO deal on permanent jewelry: 50% off. Treat your mother to matching meaningful pieces while making memories.

Or maybe gift a piece from Mynah by Smitha that’s as one-of-a-kind as mom? From signature dresses and bandanas to tote bags and travel pouches, the beauty of hand-block printing is that no two prints are exactly alike. Find Smitha and her uniquely beautiful items in The Shed.

Bring the whole family, shop local, and celebrate the moms who make life beautiful. From handcrafted goods to farm-fresh finds, the Dallas Farmers Market is the perfect place to spend the day together, creating memories she’ll cherish long after this weekend ends.

Spring Flavors are Rolling In!

Grab the first local zucchini and yellow squash at Kelley Produce, along with crisp bok choy and fresh-picked lettuce from Williams Garden. Strawberry season is still going strong, with even sweeter days just around the corner. Early peaches are arriving soon, followed by blackberries and blueberries close behind. Make your summer plans now to visit the DFM regularly for the freshest local produce your seasonal recipes deserve.
