It was held at the Scottsdale Civic Center, which, if you have been to the area, you know there isn't that much shade. On a warm 93°F day, this could be a problem. Wear a hat, slather on some sunblock, and bring some water! The Merchantile Market is a free event, and there are more than 100 local vendors you can support. The full list is on their website, and you can see when their next event is. Last month's theme was Boots & Blossoms. This is a fun event, but I do wish they had more beverage vendors. It would have made the event a little more bearable. It's dog-friendly, family-friendly, and don't forget to bring your appetite and wallet. There are so many great things for you to buy!

I donned my large Italian sun hat and put on my shopping sandals and headed in. What an amazing…read moreexperience at the UPTOWN FARMERS MÅRKET! Having been to the Farm-To-Fork Capitol and the markets there, my expectations were low. This market far exceeded and competed with any of the markets I've visited in the Sacramento and Napa regions! Why? Because the prices of the produce are truly amazing, the array of vendors and the friendliness of everyone was spectacular, and the entire area was clean and inviting as to the set up. I met amazing people and discussed their locally sourced products. I had no idea that Arizona grew such beautiful items. Husband and I loved our fresh delicious salad made we that evening from greens and produce from Libelula Farm and others. I hated to be GF because Noble Bread has THE MOST amazing offerings of fresh baked goods! GOOD FORM FOODS (Google them!) had THE MOST AMAZING walnut butters ever! Delish and at a great price! Husband highly recommends LOVE'S JERKEY CO which has an outstanding array of Jerkey from locally sourced beef. The various beautiful fresh flower displays for sale were delightful. And... THE FOOD VENDORS WERE PLENTIFUL and all looked amazing! I highly recommend stopping by and giving K-TOWN IN AZ and BAGEL DADDIES a try as their delicious fresh made items are hard to resist! Five stars for this amazing event!!!!

There are artist booths, and plant booths, and food booths and all the dogs that want to make friends but much more walking room to allow for discussions among friends... I am locked in, the vendors I interacted with were Awesome, kind and personable. The vibe here is just 'different' than the other market. This one made me feel like "welcome". Next vist? A plant. Maybe I grab one once a month and increase my collection. So stoked!

The Old Town Scottsdale Farmer's Market is the real deal! I absolutely loved exploring and seeing…read morethe great healthy options for food. Plus, like what other reviews have expressed it is more like a street fair vibe than a just farmer's market. McClendon's Select Groceries is solid and in my opinion the best option for fresh produce. Come ready with a portable bag to carry away great fresh produce. There is such a wide variety of other independent vendors to choose from whether you want Seafood, Mexican, Philly Cheesestakes, Caribbean, Pastries, French, I mean the list goes on. Definitely a great place to start your Saturday morning!

Don't miss old town farmers market- be there or be square!!

This one was not any different. Same hats, toys, clothing and tools. Same art, food, electronics and shoes. But this one has a tattoo shop that was different. So this being in the desert is nicely covered by tarps which is a great idea in thought but also traps the emissions from dozens of small generators...sickening. 100 degrees and nauseous. Last words...I bought a hat.

They've got an insane variety of vendors selling everything from fruits and veggies to dog treats, candles, pastries that'll make your taste buds do the happy dance, food, gift items, and a whole lot more. And the cherry on top? All the vendors were ridiculously friendly, dishing out samples and the lowdown on their products like they're sharing secrets with old pals. Plus, there's ample seating, a DJ spinning tunes, and more food vendors than you can shake a stick at. It's basically the ultimate Saturday morning chill zone, and your furry friend is invited too - just keep 'em on a leash, okay? Oh, and bonus points - it's also the perfect spot for people watching, so grab a coffee, sit back, and enjoy the show!
