About

From mid-June to early October, Sunday in Vail Village means the Vail Farmers' Market & Art Show. More than 155 vendors set up along Meadow Drive, and the mix is broader than the name suggests: Colorado produce and honey, cheese and Wagyu beef, bakers and sauce makers, alongside painters, photographers, potters, jewelers and clothing makers.

It suits almost anyone in town for a summer weekend. Families can graze their way down the street, couples can pick up picnic supplies before a hike, and gift shoppers will find work by Colorado artists they would not see in the galleries. Allow more time than you think: live music plays and the booths run the length of the street.

When it runs

The 2026 season runs every Sunday from June 14 to October 4, from mid-morning to mid-afternoon; exact times are in the FAQ below. It is a summer event only, so a winter visit calls for the organizer's December holiday market instead.

What you will find

Vendor spaces are juried, and the 2026 roster reads like a directory of small Colorado producers: microgreens and fruit growers, a candle maker from Breckenridge, a whiskey distiller, chocolatiers, Asian-fusion sauces, elote and bao stands for lunch on the go. Several Vail businesses take a booth too, among them Grey Salt, Kidsport and Eye Pieces. The full vendor list is published on the market's website.

Getting there

Vail Village is built for walking, and parking close to the market is limited. The organizer points drivers to the Vail Village and Lionshead parking structures, with Red Sandstone, Donovan Park and Ford Park as overflow, and the free Town of Vail bus between them. Arrive early on Sundays, when the garages fill. Oversized vehicles and trailers must park on the North Frontage Road in West Vail.

Other markets and dinners from the same organizer

Thursday Meadow Market is a smaller midweek afternoon market on Willow Bridge Road in Vail Village, with produce, baked goods, artisan foods and handmade goods. It runs from mid-June to mid-September, so it has finished for 2026.

Vail Kris Kringle Market is a European-style holiday market that takes over Meadow Drive for four days each December, with lights, music and holiday food and gifts. The organizer lists December 10 to 13 for 2026.

Vail Farm to Table Dinner Series pairs local chefs with ingredients from market vendors in ticketed multi-course dinners with wine. Dates and tickets are posted on the market's dinners page.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the Vail Farmers Market?
On Sundays in season, 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Meadow Drive in Vail Village. The 2026 season ran every Sunday from June 14 to October 4, 2026, and has now ended for the year. The market does not run in winter. 2027 season dates had not been announced as of late October 2026; the organizer posts them on vailfarmersmarket.com.
Where is it held?
On Meadow Drive in Vail Village, Colorado. The street is given over to the market on Sundays, so you walk its length among the booths, a short stroll from the Vail Village parking structure.
What will I find there?
More than 155 juried vendors each Sunday: Colorado produce and fruit, honey, cheese and Wagyu beef, bakers, chocolatiers and sauce makers, prepared food to eat as you walk (elote, bao, tacos, crepes), plus the Art Show half of the market, painters, photographers, potters, jewelers and clothing makers, and live music. The full current roster is published on the market's website.
Does it cost anything to get in?
No. Entry to the Sunday market is free and no tickets are sold for it; you simply pay each vendor for what you buy. The only ticketed events from this organizer are the Farm to Table dinners.
Where should I park?
The Vail Village parking structure is closest. The Lionshead structure and the Red Sandstone garage are the overflow options, and all three connect to the free Town of Vail bus. Donovan Park offers free daytime parking when available and Ford Park is used for overflow. Garages fill early on market Sundays, so arrive early or walk/bus if you are staying in Vail. Oversized vehicles and trailers cannot park in the village core and must use the designated areas on the North Frontage Road in West Vail.
Is there a midweek market?
Yes, in season. The Thursday Meadow Market runs on Willow Bridge Road in Vail Village on Thursday afternoons, 1 to 5:30 p.m., in 2026 from June 18 to September 17. It is smaller and quieter than the Sunday market, with produce, baked goods, artisan foods and handmade goods. It has finished for 2026.
Is there anything in winter?
Yes. The same organizer runs the Vail Kris Kringle Market, a European-style holiday market on Meadow Drive listed for December 10 to 13, 2026 (Thursday to Sunday), with holiday food, gifts and lights. Its vendor list is published on vailfarmersmarket.com.
What are the Farm to Table dinners?
A ticketed dinner series from the same organizer: local chefs cook multi-course dinners from ingredients sourced from market vendors, with paired wines. The currently published date is the Kringle Table holiday dinner on December 21, 2026, a small holiday market from 4:30 p.m., then a four-course dinner at 6 p.m. Dates and tickets are posted on the dinners page at vailfarmersmarket.com.
Can I sell at the market?
Vendor spaces are juried and limited. The official site states the Sunday market was full for vendors for 2026, and it has posted the Sunday application for 2027, plus the 2026 Kris Kringle Market application, on its Vendor Opportunities page.
Who runs the market?
Vail Farmers Market is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Its events are produced by Ren Event Productions with the Meadow Drive Association and the Town of Vail. The organizer's website is vailfarmersmarket.com.
