The Wednesday market closes for the summer, but the Saturday market operates year-round, moving vendors indoors or under shade during the hottest months. The Uptown Farmers Market is one of the largest and most popular markets in Phoenix, known for its extensive selection and vibrant atmosphere. It brings together over 200 vendors during its cooler-month peak, offering everything from fresh produce, eggs, and dairy to artisanal cheeses, baked goods, prepared foods, and a wide variety of handcrafted items.
You’ll find a mix of organic and conventional produce, specialty foods, and unique gifts. During the summer, while the market remains open on Saturdays, many vendors move indoors into the air-conditioned church building on the property to provide relief from the heat. This makes it a comfortable option even on the hottest days.
The market has a strong community following, and it’s a great spot for families, with food trucks and sometimes live music. Parking can be found in the surrounding lots, but arriving early is always a good strategy. Pets are generally welcome in the outdoor areas but may have restrictions if vendors move indoors; it’s best to check their website or social media for current policies. They also offer curbside pick-up and refrigerated home delivery through Dilandri Family Foods.
