Downtown Anaheim Certified Farmers Market
Every Thursdays
Downtown Anaheim's Farmers Market was first established in 1995 and it's one of the larger markets offering not only fruits, vegetables, and gourmet goods, but also features crafts, entertainment, and fresh-cooked food made-to-order. At Center Street Promenade, a great collection of retail shops, restaurants, and boutiques welcome guests to explore their local treats as they open their doors and patios and become an extension of farmers market day activity. It's a vibrant area on Thursdays and closing off the street from traffic creates a walkable, open-air space.
This Anaheim farmers market features certified local growers proudly displaying their organic seasonal fruits (like peaches, nectarines, strawberries) and vegetables (like tomatoes, avocados, cauliflower, and kale). Enjoy artisanal offerings like pot pies, ham and turkey, roasted peanuts, and artisan bread. The craft section of this market offers leather goods, handmade clothing, and accessories for sale. Flowers, herbs, and a lovely selection of plants are also on hand. Park at Anaheim Blvd. Parking Structure, free for 2 hours (visit the Information Booth for validation).
