Food to sustain.
Art to inspire.
Community to share it with.
Local products sold by local people.
Vendors make the market and at OBFM we work hard to build relationships with local vendors you can grow to love and share a first name basis with. Our vendors’ products are produced or grown with an “as local as absolutely possible” approach - in 2024 three of our four vendors to provide fresh produce will grow their crop within five miles of our market location!
Live music, art demonstrations, and creative activities.
It’s an exciting new year @ OBFM! Thanks to the generous grant support from organizations like Cuyahoga Arts & Culture and Food Strong, we have the funds to support weekly live music, art demonstrations, a community mural the market project, and an awesome new collaboration with our friends at Rust Belt Fibershed. Dive into our calendar to learn more!
A market for every corner of our neighborhood.
Old Brooklyn is Cleveland’s largest neighborhood in both square miles and population. Ask any of the over 30,000 residents here what part of the neighborhood they’re in and you’ll get names like South Hills, Brookside, South Brooklyn, Brighton, Broadview Bend, and more. For 12 weeks every summer, Old Brooklyn brings all those corners of the neighborhood together to celebrate food, creativity, and each other!
