Fresh food, friendly faces, and mountain charm—what more could you want?
There’s nothing quite like a summer morning at a mountain farmers market. Between the crisp alpine air, fresh Palisade peaches, and locally made everything from salsa to soap these weekly community events are a true highlight of high country living. Whether you’re a full-time resident or just visiting for the weekend, exploring the region’s farmers markets is a great way to support small businesses and get a taste of local life.
Here are five of our favorite markets to check out around Summit and Eagle Counties:
Fridays | 9 AM – 2 PM | Buffalo Street, Dillon
Set against the backdrop of Lake Dillon and the Gore Range, this market is a community favorite. Every Friday through mid-September, locals and visitors flock here for farm-fresh produce, baked goods, handmade crafts, and live music. It’s the perfect pre-weekend ritual—especially if you cap it off with a walk around the lake or a paddle session afterward.
Sundays | 10 AM – 3 PM | Main Street Station & Maggie Pond
Breckenridge’s market feels more like a mini festival. Held at the base of Peak 9, it features dozens of tents showcasing local produce, art, snacks, and wellness goods—all set to the sounds of live acoustic music. Grab a cold brew, stroll the stalls, and enjoy one of the most scenic farmers market settings in the Rockies.
Sundays | 9:30 AM – 3:30 PM | Meadow Drive, Vail Village
The largest market in the region, Vail’s Farmers’ Market is a must-visit. With over 150 vendors and a heavy focus on Colorado-made products, it blends upscale artisan shopping with a laid-back village vibe. You’ll find everything from gourmet foods and fresh produce to locally crafted home décor, fashion, and art. Bonus: there’s live music, chef demos, and plenty of food trucks to keep you fueled.
Saturdays | 9 AM – 1:30 PM | Eagle Town Park
This down-to-earth market in downtown Eagle is known for its relaxed vibe and strong community presence.
