Established in 1892, the Reading Terminal Market is the nation's oldest continuously operating farmers' market. Located on the ground floor of the Pennsylvania Convention Center, the market has more than 80 unique merchants offering fresh fare, exotic flowers, handmade crafts and everything in between. In fact, two of the current merchants are descendants of original merchants from the first market that took place over one hundred years ago.
At sit-down eateries located throughout the market, shoppers can enjoy almost every type of cuisine, including Middle Eastern cuisine, soul food, organic vegetarian selections and traditional Pennsylvania Dutch fare. Markets have been an important part of Philadelphia culture since the late 17th century and remain so today. More than 100,000 people visit the Reading Terminal Market each year.
The market is open Monday through Saturday from 8 AM to 6 PM and Sunday from 9 AM to 4 PM. Garage parking is available and can be validated. For more information: 215-922-2317
