Midtown Farmers Market — Attraction in Sacramento

Midtown Farmer's Market - Sacramento

The Midtown Farmer's Market in downtown Sacramento is a vibrant hub of activity that truly captures the spirit of the community! The atmosphere is wonderfully lively and energetic, with an impressive diversity of vendors, visitors, and offerings that showcase Sacramento's rich cultural tapestry.

One of the market's standout features is its incredible energy - live music fills the air as conversations and laughter create a bustling soundtrack. While this creates an exciting atmosphere, it's worth noting that those with sensory or hearing sensitivities might want to prepare accordingly, as the sound levels can get quite high during peak hours.

Dog lovers will feel right at home here! The market is extremely dog-friendly, with four-legged friends everywhere you turn. It's heartwarming to see so many pups enjoying the sights and smells alongside their owners. However, if you're not a fan of dogs or have pet allergies, you might want to choose another venue, as the market gets packed with people and pets, especially during busy times.

Speaking of crowds - prepare to get cozy! The popularity of this market means it's often "packed like sardines," particularly during prime hours. While this can make navigation a bit challenging, it's also testament to just how beloved this community gathering spot has become.

The variety of fresh produce, artisanal goods, and prepared foods is outstanding and well worth braving the crowds. Whether you're shopping for farm-fresh ingredients or just soaking in the atmosphere, the Midtown Farmer's Market delivers a quintessential Sacramento experience that...

Man oh man. This is my favorite farmer's market. I absolutely love it. The space is broken up into quadrants.

Quadrant 1 has lots of food for sale. Pot stickers and steamed buns. Cuban sandwich and burritos. Coffee and more coffee. Kombucha and tea. You can find the most amazing and delicious sourdough bread from my gf and you can also swoop on crave worthy sweets from Sweet Nita. Kettle corn on all the flavors you can imagine. Hummus and salsa and all kinds of baked goodies!

Quadrant 2 has all kinds of handmade items. Everything from handmade butcher blocks to crunchy granola soap and lotions. Lots of clothing and purses and bracelets and earrings and accessories for your summer wardrobe.

Quadrant 3 is fruit and veggie centric. The most amazing greens and berries and nuts and honey and eggs. Lots of wonderful flowers and also, some fresh, locally raised meat options.

Quadrant 4??? I don't think I go down that way. I can kinda sorta see it, but I can't make it out. Whatevs! Go see it for yourself.

Parking can be an issue, depending on the weather and what time you arrive. The space is dog friendly and you'll see some of the cutest dogs...

LOVE THIS MARKET!!! So worth a visit, not super big and overwhelming like some markets can be, but don’t let that fool you into thinking great things aren’t there. So many awesome and friendly vendors, samples, music and eats! We walked around the whole market sampling our way around, purchasing things and just browsing for about 2 hours. Never had an issues with vendors only being cash only or anything like that, we equally used cash & Venmo it was great. Love that there was room for us to stop and pullover with our son (who was being pushed in his stroller) to let him try fruit/snacks and not feel pressured that we were stopping or in peoples way. Lots of wiggle room, places to pull over as your browse and they even have a little “quad” area with corn hole, chairs and a great picture opportunity with the Midtown Farmer’s Market street sign director. There were a few food trucks while we were there too, we didn’t try them out, but they looked busy and smelled good. Loved seeing all the pups there mingling too, just a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. Definitely coming...
