Farmers Market District

The Farmers Market District sits on the southeastern side of downtown Dallas, centered around the lively Dallas Farmers Market and within walking distance of Main Street Garden and the central business district. The area blends historic warehouse roots with a modern, walkable feel, drawing locals and visitors to its food hall, open-air market sheds, and nearby loft-style apartments, which makes parking in Farmers Market District particularly important to plan ahead.

Traffic in this part of downtown is busiest around meal times and weekends, when shoppers, diners, and residents all compete for curbside spaces and popular surface lots closest to the sheds and restaurants, so drivers should expect heavier circulation on streets such as S Pearl Expressway and César Chávez Boulevard. Visitors will find a mix of paid surface lots, garages beneath residential buildings, and limited time-controlled street parking, so it is important to read posted signs, observe meter rules, and be prepared for a short walk from a slightly farther lot during peak hours. Booking parking in advance near your destination can save time, reduce stress, and make it easier to enjoy the neighborhood’s markets, eateries, and skyline views, and you should always check the latest official city and facility information for current parking regulations before you go.
