Opening and closing months in Kentucky

April and June account for 57% of season openings in Kentucky. Of the 18 main seasons (spring to autumn), 6 close by the end of September and 7 stay open into November or December. In December 4 dated seasons are still running, and 2 in January, not counting year-round markets.

"Dated seasons running" counts the seasons that include at least part of the month; add the 13 year-round markets for every month. A month-only season ("May through October") counts for the whole of both months.

Every Kentucky market with a published season (21)

Sorted by opening date, with winter seasons last. The days are the market days the same source gives. Seasons shift by a few days from year to year, so check the market's own site before a first visit.

Where these dates come from

Each season above is read from the text a source publishes: the markets' own websites. We take the dates as written ("May 16 – October 10", "June through October") and do not estimate missing ones; a register older than 2023, or website text we could not tie to the current season, is left out. A register's dates describe the season of the year it was published, which the source line gives.

• Market websites: 21
