Beautiful variety of Artesian foods. Nice variety of local home goods. And you can have a personal wood fired pizza made to order while you shop!

Chesterton European Market is a landmark. Open May til Sept every Saturday 8:00am-2:00pm. So many shops, outdoor food tents, & music. Great place to spend the day. Come check it out!

There were limited vendor booths on Saturday and quiet early so not super interesting. Produce looked good and a band was setting up around 10am so maybe it was going to liven up some more. There was an accordion player across the street which added a special touch.

One star review not because the market is bad. The market is great. But it is not properly managed. This weekend I attended. Everyone was masked. No distancing rules were being observed. The exit was closed forcing everyone to spend more time in close proximity with one another. When the local mgt was asked why the exit was closed, he sites town ordinance which states he needs to control head count. No one was counting heads. When asked that it doesnt make sense and increases exposure he basically said he didnt have the manpower to open the exit. I.e. POOR MANAGEMENT. lets increase the time people are in close proximity because common sense cant reign. Wont go back till C19 is done.

While it is really cool and a nice place, it is quite small. And for the vegans, there werent too many choices when I was there

Great variety of vendors. This is a diamond in the rough and provides the community a nice and relaxing shopping environment while supporting small local vendors.

I thought the European Market was very good....you have to wear a mask, of course, but we thoroughly enjoyed it all. I would definitely go back...

A good Saturday market for fresh produce, cheese, baked goods, other foods, and gifts. In 2020 not as big due to COVID-19 pandemic. Support local.

This used to be a lot better some years ago, not in a nostalgia sense but in a scale and content sense. These days most of the european market is people reselling things they bought online, or the sale of kit crafts. Theres some food options and theyre pretty good, but there used to be a lot more.a little off topic, theres a global pandemic going on right now, why is this even still going onget out of my town, tourists, we keep having more and more covid cases and im certain the daily influx of people from illinois and michigan have a lot to do with it

This is a good place to go with a friend or a date. Stroll about in the shade. Find a few items to take home,and get lunch from the many food vendors. Then eat your lunch under a tree. Perfect

Get there early! Awesome vendors with great variety of goods plus plenty of fresh produce, floral and so much to look at. It gets very crowded at times so try to get there when they open for the best parking, etc. I always find the best fresh in season produce at great prices.

Lovely place to spend a Saturday morning. You can find local honey, microgreens, breads & cheeses. I enjoyed the jam (butter) booth today & pleasantly meet by very wonderful people that were truly in love with what they do & the wonderful flavors they get to share with others. Needless to say, it is a must visit place to stock up for you week ahead on all of your favorite delicacies & have lunch while your out too :)

So much more than a typical farmers market! Such a wide variety of vendors and great food options. Very easy to spend the whole morning here.

A fun market with some delicious offerings, but would like to see more local/organic produce and less mass-produced goods. We enjoy the hot food vendors and live music the most.

Review №46

I liked the atmosphere of the place. However vendors need more room. Get there early parking is kind of painful. A lot of the streets are one ways. It was very crowded for the area sad thing is there is room to space the vendors out.

You have to go to the market at least once during the season. In the spring there is a great selection of vegetable and flowers for planting. Parking can be tricky to find so be prepared to walk or circle the streets for a while. Lots of yummy food to try and live entertainment. Right next to a lovely park where you can have a nice picnic and show off your loot to your friends.

The European Market in Chesterton located in the park provides local crafts, jewelry, farm produce, food booths & a local musician playing tunes for enjoyment.Parking can be a challenge.

Review №62

Everything is great! Fresh organic produce, fresh baked breads and pasteries, cheese, honey, maple syrup, different food venders, homemade soaps and lotions, clothes, crafts. Theres a little bit of everything. The only drawback is for drivers. They need someone directing traffic, or rather the pedestrians. People crossing Broadway wont give the cars a chance to go. They cross wherever they please, walk out in front of traffic, and dont let cars have a turn to go. I try to avoid Broadway on Saturdays, even if I am going to the market.

There is a few vendors dropping out that I normally get my spring plants from. This is market is more geared for out of towners to appreciate. Warning: this market attracts the ideals of bringing their pet dogs.

A little taste of an outdoor European market, right here in northwest Indiana. Dozens of vendors selling handmade goods from dog treats to homemade organic honey and pick mushrooms and artisanal breads. Every Saturday, rain or shine from May through end of October. At the corner of Broadway and 3rd Street in downtown Chesterton Indiana right next to Thomas Centennial Park just two miles south of the Indiana Dunes at Lake Michigan.
