Revived in April 2025 under the Regional Farmers’ Market Association, this Wednesday market brings growers, hot foods, and artisans back downtown. Covered by City of San José, Local News Matters, and San José Spotlight.
Revived in 2025 at Hammer Theatre Plaza, this midweek market gathers small farms, hot food stalls, and artisans. Reported by San José Spotlight and announced by the City of San José, it’s a lively stop for students and downtown workers.
I visited on Fri noon time. It was only a block long; it had food stalls, fruit & veggie, artisanal items, and crafts. Although you are limited in selections, you also are not overwhelmed.

Closed till next year’s summer season - check their website for details. Usually opens May - end October/ early nov. There’s a permanent public indoor market nearby though for food and drinks.

Lot less vendors than I expected but was still a nice experience. Checkout Harji Naturals for hand made bath and body products.

While I loved the market last year, I am not a big fan this year. Couldn't find any vegetables, only 1 live food stall, bad timing. Last year Kaiser brought in so many good vendors. I used to visit every Friday. Not so sure this time around.

Today was opening day for Downtown SJ Farmer's Market! It was definitely smaller (vendors) than last year. Many of the regulars were there and many missing. Such as it is as our County eases restrictions. Lots of stone fruit, veggies and other fruit. A couple of baked goods vendors and of course the salmon and hummus guys were present with delicious food items. Hot food booths too we're also present. A good place to get your produce for the week! Don't forget to stock up on the other goodies too! And wear your mask 👍

Very pleasant. Most of the same vendors as can be found at the Wednesday night Santana Row farmers market, but no live music or shade from trees at this one. Also I bought some berries and brought them home to find there was mold on the ones at the bottom of the basket -- however, that was only one vendor.

The change to Wednesday isn't good, clashes with Santana Row and at least 2 markets in San Jose. I guess I won't be going any more.
While I enjoyed it last year, there were not that many fruit and veg stalls and none had organic produce.

Friday, every week market is setup between 9 am to 2pm. Lots of lunch and dinner options, all 7 days a week. But on Friday, Indian, vegan and few other food trucks are available. Organic veggies and fruits are also available but less options I would say compared to bigger markets like the Fremont, mountain view.
