KAUNEONGA LAKE, NY – The Kauneonga Lake Farm & Makers Market officially opens its 2026 season on Saturday, April 25. This year’s market blends local agriculture and artistry with a vibrant “weekend on the lake” experience, organizers said.

2026 market schedule

Saturday, April 25 and Saturday, May 30: The market will be held indoors at the Cornelius Duggan School (3460 Rte. 55, White Lake).

Starting Saturday June 27 and every Saturday thereafter : The market moves outdoors to Veterans Square. This move “places shoppers in the heart of the Kauneonga Lake ‘strip,’ now featuring five diverse restaurants (including two brand-new eateries) and a boutique clothing store.”

“We are cultivating more than just a market; we’re building a destination,” said market manager Moreen Lerner. “We invite everyone to browse the stalls, shop the boutiques, enjoy a meal, and take in the lake views. Visitors can also enjoy Gazebo Park, also known as Community Park, featuring our outdoor games, chess/checker tables and a free little library.”
