The Worcester Public Market is a multi-vendor, food-oriented marketplace in the European tradition, featuring street-oriented business of various stripes, a small-merchant market floor, the foodie-heaven Market Pantry, and a vibrant dining pavilion with skylights and a seamless connection to the social and gustatory pleasures of the Wachusett Brew Yard.

Located in Worcester’s resurgent Canal District, the market sits right on legendary Kelley Square, just a few seconds from Interstate 290 and a world away from the ordinary. Parking is abundant, and street life abounds. The district is home to the adjacent, mixed-use Crompton Building and offers visitors literally dozens of restaurants, bars, and eclectic retail establishments. Daytime shopping pleasures and abundant night life characterize an historic neighborhood that is undergoing a 21st century urban renaissance.

Kelley Square provides a memorable gateway to the Commonwealth’s second-largest city; and the market itself serves as a crossroads of Central Massachusetts culture. Whether your taste favors the coffeehouse ambience of the Birch Tree Bakery or the dollar drafts of the legendary Hotel Vernon; the upscale restaurants in the neighborhood or the down-to-earth Kelley Square Pizza; the pulsing clubs of Water Street, the Canal District will tempt you, please you, and keep you coming back. The Worcester Public Market sits at the heart of it all.
