New Year-Round Saturday Farmer's Market is Launching Downtown!

The post below is from the San Pedro Square Market blog. This is excellent news for Downtown. In addition to our seasonal Friday Farmer's Market in the summer, we'll have a brand new peak-time Saturday market open all year round. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this develops in conjunction with the San Pedro Square Market. Also, a hat tip to Arlene for sending this news in.

Okay, so we know that we keep advertising for our Farmers' Market and how Spring is around the corner. Well folks, it is finally here! Saturday April 7th , is the opening day of the year-round, rain-or-shine Saturday Farmers' Market. Here is what you need to know:
It will be open 10am-2pm. 
Located on W. St. John between N. Almaden and N. San Pedro, directly in front of SPSM.
Around 40-50 vendors, mostly farmers, prepared food, and flowers.

The timing of it is perfect for all you that work during the week! Get your grocery shopping done at the farmers market, then come enjoy the rest of your Saturday at the Market! Enjoy some lunch, drinks and entertainment here at SPSM since there is always something here to entertain you. We’ve even got some special surprises lined up for you during and after the Farmers' Market. We’ve got author signings, live music and so much more to make sure you have the best enjoyable weekend here at San Pedro Square Market.
Please note that this is a separate event from the Downtown Farmers Market that occurs seasonally on Fridays on San Pedro St.

  1. Just checking to see if you know if Treatbot and Veggie Box is a soft opening or not? I cant make April 7 but wanted to head down on the 8th if those places are open still.

    2. Okay, have some updates! The new building is supposed to be open on April 7th in time for the new Farmer's Market. Veggie Box will be open, but Treatbot may take a little longer.

      The crepe place will also be open before the 7th. The taco bar will "break ground" in a week or so and will take a month to build out. Blush (which looks pretty damn slick) will be opening mid April.

    1. There is a giant 6-story structure right across the street and parking is free on Saturdays there from 6am-6pm. You can also validate parking at the San Pedro Square Market bar if you stay after 6pm.
