Opening and closing months in Missouri

April and May account for 56% of season openings in Missouri. Of the 36 main seasons (spring to autumn), 10 close by the end of September and 6 stay open into November or December. In December 2 dated seasons are still running, not counting year-round markets.

"Dated seasons running" counts the seasons that include at least part of the month; add the 6 year-round markets for every month. A month-only season ("May through October") counts for the whole of both months.

Every Missouri market with a published season (36)

Sorted by opening date. 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.
