A Saturday Morning Worth Making Time For
A good Fort Pierce weekend doesn't need a packed schedule. Leave a little room for coffee, a walk by the water, and something fresh to bring back for dinner. The Downtown Fort Pierce Farmers Market gives you a place to start.
For guests staying at Road Runner Travel Resort, it makes an easy outing to build a Saturday around. You can browse downtown in the morning and still leave the afternoon open for a swim, a book, or time with your neighbors back at the resort. Here's how to plan your visit.
Where Is the Fort Pierce Farmers Market?
The waterfront market is at Marina Square, 101 Melody Lane, Fort Pierce, by the City Marina. One useful distinction: the nearby Jazz Society Arts & Crafts Market is a separate market. Start at the waterfront for the farmers market, then explore farther if you want to browse both.
Saturday Hours and When to Arrive
The market organizer's current visitor information lists Saturday hours of 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. from October through May and 8 a.m. to noon from June through September. Check that page before heading out for any updates.
Our suggestion is to make this a morning outing rather than arriving near closing. Give yourself time to browse before deciding what to buy, and keep the rest of the day flexible. If you're shopping for dinner, think about your refrigerator space before you leave the RV. A few ingredients you can use that evening are often a better souvenir than an overfilled shopping bag.
Parking: Take Your Passenger Vehicle
The organizer advertises free parking in the Avenue A garage next to City Hall and a free shuttle every 15 minutes between 8 a.m. and noon. The shuttle's advertised hours end before the winter market closes, so plan your return accordingly. The City of Fort Pierce parking map is a useful companion when choosing where to park.
For RV guests, we suggest leaving the motorhome at your campsite and taking a passenger vehicle. Check posted height and vehicle restrictions before entering a garage, especially with a tall truck or roof-mounted equipment. Don't assume that a downtown parking space can accommodate an RV or trailer. If your vehicle needs extra clearance, settle the parking question before you set off.
What to Bring Along
Keep your market kit simple: reusable shopping bags, drinking water, comfortable shoes, and an insulated bag if you plan to buy chilled food. Carry the payment options you normally use, and ask each vendor what they accept before ordering.
Leave yourself a little room for an unplanned purchase. You might arrive looking for vegetables and decide that bread and a jar of honey are exactly what tomorrow's breakfast needs. Before buying more than you can carry comfortably, remember that you'll be taking those bags back to your vehicle.
If food shopping is the main purpose of your trip, make the resort your next stop so you can put everything away. A long afternoon of sightseeing is easier to enjoy when you're not thinking about groceries in the car.
A Relaxed Saturday Plan
Start with a look around. Browse before committing to a big shopping list. Choose breakfast or coffee if something catches your eye, then take your time deciding what you'd like to bring back. There is no need to turn the morning into a checklist.
Add one more stop, if you feel like it. A downtown walk keeps the outing simple. For an educational visit, look at the Manatee Center's visitor information and check its current hours before making it part of your route. Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, so plan around the visit itself rather than the promise of seeing a manatee.
Leave the afternoon open. Head back with your purchases, settle in, and decide what sounds good next. Our heated pool and resort amenities give you ways to enjoy the day without adding another drive. For a future outing, bookmark our broader guide to things to do in Fort Pierce.
Make a Fort Pierce Weekend of It
A Saturday market visit fits nicely into a stay at Road Runner. Travelers bringing their own setup can explore our RV sites and accommodations; guests coming without an RV can compare our cabin rentals. Choose the option that suits your trip, then check availability for your dates.
Back at the resort, the Coyote Market is handy for picking up essentials, and Charlene's Coyote Grille offers another way to enjoy a meal during your stay. Check current service hours when planning dinner. Whether you cook with your market purchases or let someone else do the cooking, there's no requirement to squeeze another attraction into the afternoon.
