One of the best events of the summer in Steamboat Springs is the weekly Farmers Market. Whether you are a local or a visitor, this fun and family-friendly event is not one to miss. With the bustle of friends, neighbors and pets moving through the streets to buy local goods, this is easily a favorite summer activity for Steamboat. The Steamboat Farmers Market, located Yampa Street between 5th and 8th, is held every weekend on Saturdays from 9am to 2pm.
2025 Dates: June 7 – September 20
With over 150 vendors each week, visitors can explore a diverse array of offerings, including fresh produce, locally raised meats, artisanal cheeses, baked goods, and handcrafted items from regional artisans. The market also features food trucks serving a variety of cuisines, live music performances, and interactive booths hosted by local nonprofits and community groups. The morning kicks off at 9am with pastries, breakfast burritos and coffees. As the day continues, shop for local goods, accessories, pottery, and more. The event runs until 2pm and even has an array of food trucks for the lunch rush. A local favorite spot is the lemonade stand – perfect for the kiddos and adults alike!
The best items to pick up at Steamboat’s Farmer’s Market is the fresh produce. After all, Steamboat Springs is an agriculture community. Many of the vegetable vendors are from local Steamboat, but there are some other Colorado towns that make an appearance, such as Palisade & their famous peaches. While the focus is on food, the Steamboat Farmers also offers local handmade artisan goods as well.
This event also runs along side the Yampa River! Many folks like to stroll the market, pick a delicious food truck or vendor for lunch and enjoy their afternoon by the river. Watch as fly-fisherman cast a line, tubers splash down the river, or athletic paddle boarders tear through the rapids.
A unique aspect of the Steamboat Farmers Market is its commitment to sustainability. The event is working towards becoming a zero-waste market, encouraging vendors to use compostable containers and prohibiting the sale of beverages in plastic bottles.
Whether you’re a local resident or a visitor, the Steamboat Farmers Market offers a delightful way to spend a Saturday, whether you stop by first-thing in the morning, and stroll through after finishing a hike or a bike ride. Come immerse yourself in the Steamboat community’s rich culture, pick up some fresh produce or a souvenir to bring back home, and enjoy!
