Arboretum Food and Artisan Market

The Arboretum Food and Artisan Market is back on Saturday, November 14, from 10 AM to 2 PM at the Arboretum in North Austin. It's the newest market from its organizers, now in its second year, and it takes over the Juliet Kitchen parking lot at the intersection of Jollyville Road and Great Hills Trail—10000 Research Blvd, 78759—right near Trader Joe's and Highway 183.

More than 65 local vendors fill the space, and the mix is broad enough to cover a whole morning's errands in one go. You'll find plants and flowers, eggs and local meats, hot foods and baked goods, fresh produce, home goods, jewelry, gourmet coffee, and apparel. For lunch, the options run from hot dumplings and empanadas to fresh tamales, Thai, and menudo. It's family- and pup-friendly, so it works as a solo stop or a full-family outing.

This is part of a regular Saturday market that runs year-round, though the organizers also put on themed editions like a Halloween Market and a Holiday Market. If you're already in the neighborhood for your usual Saturday run, it's an easy add-on. The market is free to the public, and it runs from 10 AM to 2 PM on Saturday, November 14.
