**July 2026: Saturday Morning**…read more My friend and I were visiting Phoenix and were so excited to check out Uptown Farmers Market, which is located at a large church, after hearing such great things about it. It definitely lived up to the hype and was such a fun way to spend a Saturday morning. We arrived around 8:30 a.m. on a Saturday morning and had no trouble finding parking, which was a great start. There was such a great variety of vendors, with everything from groceries and fresh bread to eggs, jams, pickled foods, soaps, and more. I'd guess there were maybe 100-150 vendors total, with most of them set up outside. There was also a section inside the church with a few vendors selling ice cream, produce, and other perishables, and that area was air conditioned, which was very welcome since it was around 110 degrees outside. They also had restrooms available, which was convenient. I believe vendor hours are from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., but because of the summer heat, my friend and I only stayed from about 8:30 to 10:00 a.m. Overall, I loved the variety of Arizona-based products and services and thought it was a really enjoyable market to visit.

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!!!!

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!

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!

There were many original pieces for sale, there were demonstrations, a stage for musical performances, cooking demonstrations, bow and arrow demonstrations, so much. I was able to paint at a large community canvas! For food I had a lamb stew with roasted corn and fry bread. All of their food and coffee vendors are indigenous too. Enough free parking space, and seating space for eating. Excellent, superb event and very organized! Really impressed.

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.

I definitely need to get some items for Sourdough Sisters next time. Instantly I smelled something delish that led me to the Gabeesh Food Truck where I was able to try the pizza slice of the moment. Crispy crust, good flavor and affordable. Service was great with all we interacted with.
