Weather Policy

The Bellevue Farmers Market is committed to making the market a safe outdoor space for our community, vendors, and volunteers. If severe weather or other extreme conditions occur, announcements about the market's opening or closing will be made on our social media (Instagram & Facebook).

Severe Weather: The market will close if severe weather (thunder, lightning, tornado, etc.) is observed at the market or within a 10-mile radius via radar. The market will resume when the severe weather passes, and no other severe weather is predicted for thirty (30) minutes. If the severe weather continues for an extended time, or if more severe weather is expected during the market hours, the market manager will cancel the market for that day. Please see the National Weather Service's detailed forecast for our area.

Rain: Light to moderate rain is not considered severe weather, and the market will remain open on rainy days.

Heat: We encourage everyone who attends the market during extreme heat to exercise caution and follow Allegheny County recommendations for heat safety.

The market manager reserves the right to delay or cancel the market if conditions deteriorate.

Air Quality: Please see Allegheny County's Air Quality Dashboard for real-time monitoring and current air quality. The market manager reserves the right to delay or cancel the market if air quality conditions deteriorate.
