When and where is Brick's 2026 Thanksgiving Market?
It's on Saturday, November 21, 2026, at Windward Beach Park, 265 Princeton Avenue, Brick, NJ 08724, in Ocean County. The Brick Farmers Market website lists the November 21 date, and the Ocean County Tourism event listing, which names the Township of Brick as organizer, gives the hours as 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. During the regular season, parking at Windward Beach is free. Plans can change, so check the market website or call Brick Recreation at 732-262-1075 before you head out.
What can you find at the Thanksgiving Market?
Think seasonal produce, baked goods, and early holiday gifts. The market describes it as a chance to "stock up for Thanksgiving and get a jump start on your holiday shopping," and the county listing mentions "local farmers, fresh seasonal finds, and delicious baked goods." The vendor list for November 21 hasn't been posted. For a sense of the mix, vendors during the 2026 regular season included Beckage Farms, Durr Farms, and Black Forest Bake Shop. Payment methods vary by vendor, and the market says its ATM at Windward Beach is available May through October, so bringing some cash is a good idea.
What is the regular Brick Farmers Market?
It's a township-run Saturday market that started in 2015. According to Brick Township's farmers market page, the 2026 season was its 12th, running Saturdays from May 2 through October 3, 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., at Windward Beach Park. The market's own site says it hosted nearly 70 vendors this year, from farm produce to handmade goods, coffee, and craft beer. During the regular season, admission is free, leashed and friendly dogs are welcome, reusable bags are encouraged, and the market runs rain or shine unless the weather turns hazardous.
What is Windward Beach Park like the rest of the year?
Windward Beach Park sits on the Metedeconk River, and it's one of the places Brick gathers for township events and its summer concert series. The township's parks and facilities page lists a beach, restrooms, bocce courts, a gazebo, playgrounds, and fishing piers. On a November morning, a walk out toward the water after you shop is a nice way to get a feel for the riverfront side of town.
Thinking about living in Brick? What else should you look at while you're there?
Use the trip to look at the practical stuff: how close homes are to the river and the bay, which streets sit in flood zones, the mix of housing from lagoon homes to inland neighborhoods, and how long the drive is to Route 70 and the Garden State Parkway. My Brick Township community guide walks through the geography and housing types, and the Ocean County overview shows how Brick fits with the towns around it. If you want help narrowing down which towns fit your criteria and budget, a buyer consultation with me is a good next step.
