Fun, Local Outdoor Markets You Can Enjoy This Weekend

If you're looking to shop this weekend, make sure you also try to shop local.

Whether you're looking for some new art to put up on your walls, a new wreath for the front door, some delicious jellies or sweet treats, or the perfect retro t-shirt you didn't know you need, El Paso has the Saturday market that has it.

The El Paso community has plenty of talented artists, local craftspeople, chefs, bakers, clothing makers, and more. Weekend outdoor markets have become extremely popular around town with many businesses starting to host their own or join forces to start new markets.

This Saturday, there are at least three different outdoor markets El Pasoans can enjoy happening throughout the day so no matter what time you have available to shop, there's a market that you can attend.

El Paso Downtown Art and Farmer's Market

The El Paso Downtown Art and Farmer's Market is located at 117 Anthony Street in Union Plaza and is open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. this Saturday. This market has original arts and crafts from local vendors, as well as regionally grown agricultural products and local food vendors. This market also has local music acts performing while you shop, as well as an arts and crafts table to entertain the kids while you shop.

Chuco Town Summer Market

The Chuco Town Market is located at the McRae Shopping Centre at 9627 Sims from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Saturday. This is a family-friendly outdoor market that features local artisans and has something for everyone.
