San Marcos Farmers Market, local open-air shopping

With fresh produce and fresh air, the San Marcos Farmers Market provides the perfect weekly outing with family and friends. The year-round, public market, located in San Marcos' North City, is open from 3-6 p.m. on Tuesdays in the fall and winter and 3-7 p.m. in the spring and summer. North City is conveniently located off of Highway 78 and Twin Oaks Valley Road, near Cal State San Marcos.

The San Marcos Farmers Market offers seasonal produce with organic and non-organic options, baked goods, artisan foods, live music, hot food vendors and more. Each week, new and returning vendors are eager to share their products with the community. Collectively, the vendors support a healthier San Marcos community through farm-to-table education.

Gather your family and friends, and head to San Marcos' North City to enjoy live outdoor music while sitting at the market patio tables with umbrellas. Choose from a delectable selection of hot food vendors serving Thai, Kenyan and Mexican-inspired dishes. The City of San Marcos encourages you to dedicate your Tuesdays to shopping locally in an open-air setting where you can create memories and connect with your community.

Below are Farmers Market tips for both new and frequent visitors:

  • Walk the entire market row to view all vendors

  • Interact with vendors to learn more about their products

  • Carry cash or a credit card; only select vendors off Venmo payment

  • Bring a reusable bag (or two)

"The San Marcos Farmers Market is a weekly outdoor community event that welcomes everyone," said Melanie Jamil, Director of Events for the San Marcos Chamber of Commerce. "Throughout the pandemic, the Farmers Market has offered residents an opportunity for a local getaway.
