The Volcano Village Farmers Market is the “social event of the week” in Volcano. Locals come out to swap news and catch up on the “coconut wireless” (local gossip). If you’re in Volcano Village for the weekend, start Sunday here. Pick up souvenirs and a lunch to carry into Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park later that day.
More on the market at the Cooper Center website.
Directions and opening hours
The Volcano Village Farmers Market runs twice a week at the Cooper Center in Volcano Village:

More farmers markets on the Big Island
Two other markets sit near Volcano Village: Kaʻū to the west, and the “Market @ the Mill” to the east, between Volcano and Hilo. Our list of farmers markets near Volcano covers the rest.
You can find farmers markets all over the island. Because most markets are open only one or two days a week, visiting them takes some planning. Opening days and directions for the larger island markets:
