Findlay Market is Ohio's oldest continuously-operated public market. The Findlay Market Building is a registered historic building, listed in the National Register on June 5, 1972. The market is the last remaining market among the many that once served Cincinnati.

History

Findlay Market was founded in 1852, on land donated for the purpose by the estate of James Findlay. The market is located north of downtown Cincinnati in Over-the-Rhine, a historic neighborhood known for its dense concentration of Italianate architecture. Open Wednesday through Saturday, with some vendors open on Sunday, Findlay Market is home year-around to about two dozen indoor merchants selling meat, fish, poultry, produce, flowers, cheese, deli, and ethnic foods. On Saturdays from March to December, the Market also hosts a farmers market, outdoor vendors, street performers, and special events. Findlay Market is a gathering place for people from all over the city. It routinely attracts perhaps the most socially, economically, racially, and ethnically diverse crowds found anywhere in Cincinnati.
