Official Event Page

The Vail Farmers' Market and Art Show holds its last market of 2026 on Sunday, October 4, on Meadow Drive in Vail Village. The organizer's calendar lists the Sunday market from 9:30 am to 3 pm, and the season has run every Sunday since June 14.

The market brings together more than 155 vendors: Colorado farm produce, artisan foods, fine art, handmade goods, clothing and jewelry, with live music along the way. In early October the aspens are turning, and it is one of the last big outdoor gatherings in the village before ski season.

Getting there and parking

Vail Village is built for walking, so parking right beside the market is limited. The organizers point you to the Vail Village Parking Structure first, with the Lionshead Parking Structure and the Red Sandstone Parking Garage as overflow; all three connect to the free Town of Vail bus. Donovan Park and Ford Park may offer free daytime parking when space allows. Oversized vehicles and trailers must park along the North Frontage Road in West Vail. Arrive early for the best parking.

After this season

The market's winter event, the Vail Kris Kringle Market, runs December 10-13, 2026. Vendor applications for the 2027 Sunday market are already open, but the 2027 dates had not been published when we checked; the market typically runs from mid-June to early October.

Good to know

Many vendors take cards, but bring some cash for smaller stalls. Food vendors cannot guarantee allergen-free preparation, so ask about ingredients.

Details checked against the organizer's official site, vailfarmersmarket.com, on September 28, 2026. Dates and times can change; confirm with the organizer before you go.
