See how construction of new farmers market is reshaping downtown Overland Park
Downtown Overland Park is undergoing a major transformation.
Construction of the new Overland Park Farmers Market is well on its way there. The development is part of part of the $34 million Farmers Market and Downtown Gathering Space Improvement Project.
The new market place replaces the original 1991 structure which has already been razed. The new pavilion will feature indoor vendor areas, permanent shade structures, expanded seating, and amenities like solar panels, electric vehicle chargers, and native landscaping in the space between Santa Fe Drive and Marty Street. The year-round gathering space will get upgraded restrooms to add to visitor comfort.
The space will also include a venue that can accommodate watch parties, concerts and other public events.
In a nod to the clock tower that stands tall over the downtown along Santa Fe Drive, the new market will be called Clock Tower Landing. It’s expected to be completed by the summer of 2026.
Shoppers can still stock up on fresh produce and other goods while the farmers market operates on Wednesdays and Saturdays at the Matt Ross Community Center parking lot at 8101 Marty St.
Overland Park’s investment follows a regional trend, with nearby Parkville and Lee’s Summit which have also unveiled new farmers markets.
