The Renton Farmers Market was established in 2002. The volunteer group Piazza Renton was one of the driving forces behind the formation of the Market and is still involved today. The City of Renton and Piazza Renton work together to execute each market, and work year round to create an amazing Farmers Market for the community and visitors to Downtown Renton. Visit the Market June through September every Tuesday between 3 and 7pm.

The Renton Wine Walk is the perfect event for wine connoisseurs or those just starting to discover the world of wine. Sample from over 20 different wines as you stroll through the downtown businesses and chat with the winemakers as they pour their select choices.

The festival went virtual in 2020, but stay tuned for the announcement of the 2022 Festival dates.
