The Denver Farmers Market Is Back for the Season!

Fresh produce, handmade goods, local vendors, and a welcoming small-town atmosphere are back in downtown Denver! The Denver Farmers Market is now open every Thursday from 4:30–6:30 PM, and everyone is invited to come out and enjoy an evening of shopping, community, and fun.

 

Browse a variety of locally grown produce, baked goods, artisan products, flowers, and other unique offerings while supporting the hardworking vendors who make our market special. Many weeks also feature a food truck and family-friendly activities, making it the perfect stop after work or before dinner.

 

While you're downtown, be sure to visit Denver's local shops, restaurants, and businesses. Whether you're grabbing a bite to eat, shopping for gifts, or supporting a favorite small business, every visit helps strengthen our community and local economy.

 

Bring your family, invite a friend, and make Thursday evenings a tradition this summer. We look forward to seeing you at the Denver Farmers Market!
