Scottsville Farmers Market: Final November Saturdays
A rain-or-shine Saturday market at the Scottsville Pavilion enters its final month, with cider and river-town browsing close by.
The Scottsville Farmers Market meets rain or shine on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Scottsville Pavilion, and its season runs April through November. That makes November 2026 the closing stretch of the year, a quiet, unhurried moment to visit this river-town market before it rests for the winter.

Why a Late-Season Market Visit Is Worth It
Most weekenders from the DC metro head to the big-name markets in high summer. A November Saturday in Scottsville is a different pleasure: cooler air, a settled pace, and the sense that the growers and makers who still show up are doing it because they love it. The market is built around local growers and makers, and the pavilion setting means a rainy morning does not cancel the plan.
Because the market runs rain or shine, you can plan around the calendar rather than the forecast. Dress in layers, bring a sturdy tote, and expect to linger.
Pairing the Market With a Scottsville Saturday
The market ends at 1 p.m., so it works best as the start of a day in southern Albemarle rather than the whole of it. A few thoughtful pairings:
- Cider afterward. Potter's Craft Cider makes farmhouse-style hard cider from local Virginia apples. Its listed hours include Saturday from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m., so you can arrive straight from the market. Confirm hours before you go, as our information on this venue has not been recently refreshed.
- The river. James River Runners is the Scottsville outfitter for tubes, kayaks, canoes and rafts, but its hours were recently updated to indicate it has closed for the season. That makes it a spring plan rather than a November one; treat the James as a view rather than a float for now.
What to Bring Home
We do not have a current vendor list for the market, so rather than promise specific stalls, we would suggest arriving early, walking the full pavilion before buying, and asking growers what is at its best in late fall. That is the local-friend way to shop a market in its final weeks.
