New for 2026, Custom Fridays brings custom car and motorcycle culture to the Harley-Davidson Museum every Friday night this summer. Part meet-up, part community hangout, this casual gathering invites builders, riders and enthusiasts to roll in, connect and admire an eclectic mix of custom vehicles in a welcoming, shared space.

Cruise through, hear audio bikes set the vibe, swap stories with fellow enthusiasts and grab food and drinks from MOTOR® concessions while taking in the scene. It’s a place for conversation, connections and celebrating the creativity that fuels custom culture.

Whether you’re bringing a build or coming to be part of the energy, Custom Fridays is a new summer tradition in the making.

Free to attend. No tickets required.

For over 10 years, we've been supporting local farmers, food producers and artisans, & creating a more sustainable community. Every week, the market is home to about 45 farmers and food producers, selling a first-class mix of produce, plants, cut flowers, bread and baked goods, award-winning cheese, coffee, waffles, popsicles, fish, meat and poultry, and prepared breakfast and dinner items. The first Saturday of each month, we also add a Makers Market, featuring a juried selection of local artisans selling handmade arts and crafts.

Nestled in a historic park, the Richfield Farmers Market offers a unique experience that goes beyond your typical market visit. Surrounded by scenic nature trails perfect for a pre- or post-shopping hike, the market provides a tranquil escape into nature.

Each week, a diverse selection of food trucks gather to offer delicious lunch options as well as local musicians, creating a lively community atmosphere. The market boasts a wide array of local produce, ensuring the freshest seasonal fruits and vegetables. Beyond produce, you'll find high-quality local meat, farm-fresh eggs, and an irresistible assortment of baked goods. The market also features handcrafted lotions, candles, and unique crafts, making it the perfect place to find a special gift or treat yourself.

The Richfield Farmers Market is more than just a place to shop; it's a weekly destination where community, nature, and local commerce come together. Whether you're looking for fresh ingredients, a tasty lunch, or a leisurely stroll through the park, the Richfield Farmers Market offers something for everyone.
