A producer-driven market with over a hundred local Colorado food-focused vendors offering fresh produce, meat, dairy, flowers, specialty foods and on-site prepared foods, with live music and community activations.
The City Park Farmers Market is back at the City Park Esplanade every Saturday from 8 AM to 1 PM, running from May 2 through October 31, 2026. It's a producer-driven market, which means the focus is on the people growing and making the food rather than a middleman. On any given morning, you'll find more than a hundred local Colorado vendors—growers, bakers, and culinary figures—selling fresh produce, meat, dairy, flowers, specialty foods, and on-site prepared foods. There are free tastings, too, so you can sample things before you commit.
One of the producers they highlight is Ela Family Farms, a fourth-generation Colorado fruit farm that dates back to 1907. They're known for their Western Slope peaches, plums, pears, and apples, so if you're looking for fruit from the Slope, that's a good place to start. Beyond the shopping, the market programs live music and community activations like a run club and yoga, and they welcome volunteers if you'd rather spend your Saturday morning helping out than buying in.
