Running Springs Farmers Market & Artisan Faire — Local services in Running Springs

Most of their food is pretty darn good especially their hamburgers and fries and breakfast! It's an older place and in a small town -I once lived there myself and I even worked there myself as a teenager in the 90's. It hasn't changed much and as a tourist it's a great place to stop for a bite if you have a small party. Unfortunately there's usually only one server working at a time and even with two, it's hard to give the best service no matter how hard you try when the place is packed. So, if you go in- don't be in a hurry, remember you're not in L.A. , you're up in the mountains and supposed to be leisure but that's hard because everyone is always in a hurry. Order a cup of soup while you wait if you're really hungry, they usually have 2 great soups. And tip them well! Believe me I know how hard they work. Also a great place to order food to go and take back to your cabin. Country fried steak. I almost want to give them 4 stars just for a few things...

Always changing variety of 30 plus vendors . affordable. Adjacent to park, library, convenient bathroom facilities. Bring kids, pets on leash. Good food, snacks, live entertainment. Walkable. Ample parking. Vendors set up early as 9am but all are scheduled from 10am to 2 pm. Ask about vouchers for ski lift passes to Snow Valley, Santa's Village at Skypark. They have weekly promotions that give away these expensive passes if you spend a cumulative $25 from the various vendors. Well worth the time.farm fresh produce from nearby farms.look for strawberries during May, Apples later in season. Fruits and veggies will vary based on harvest time. Asparagus in May, June for example. Don't expect to find it in September! Enjoy. Pleasant place. Local eateries within two block walk, Chinese, Mexican, Pizza, coffee...

If you were looking for fresh-never-frozen fruits and vegetables or some souvenirs of the mountain community, you're in the right place. There, you can find some produce fresh from the garden like eggs, berries, or even broccoli. There's also unique collectibles like geodes, stickers and more! You can even find some foods to eat like seafood or kettle corn, or heck, even shaved ice and smoothies that could really get your attention. I highly recommend going there if you're a tourist of the Mountain Community!
