Downtown SLO Farmers' Market

Downtown SLO Farmer’s Market is a Central Coast must-see attraction for locals and tourists. This farmer’s market is big and it’s something far more authentic. It’s a great experience for visitors There are street vendors and local farm stands with many different activities and music. Sweet and savory street food is available but everyone is different and has their preferences. We loved the Feral’s tri-tip sandwich. It was very tasty. Unfortunately, it is not on the restaurant menu. I am always passionate about macarons. I particularly like the raspberry flavor. Monika’s Macarons not only look gorgeous but are also as tasty as they look. I highly recommend the fresh produce from local farmers. It is a little bit pricey but worth every penny. It is always fresh and a high quality.

So fun!! Super packed but worth it. The band at the end by the BBQ restaurant was awesome. Lots of food, fresh veggies, and handmade items. Most of the stores stay open late as well so you can browse.

This is a great downtown for shopping, dining and strolling. Everything is within walking distance. Pay for parking on the street or in parking lots. Maximum parking is three hours. You pay at the kiosk or meter and place the ticket on your front dash board. Handicap parking and access are available. Beautiful tall trees line the sidewalks. The shops and restaurants are right along the main street. You can walk on side of the street than on the other side in the opposite direction so as not to miss anything. There are boutique shops and favorite mall shops on both sides. You have lots of choices of restaurants. We chose SLO Barbeque restaurant. It is a really nice tiwn.

Busy!!!! Get there early to park. Lots of vendors. One with gluten free items...though kind of rude.

The best farmer’s market we’ve ever seen. A massive amount of eating options from BBQ to Mexican food. Very crowded but that’s part of the charm. Side note: the BBQ stand with the guys wearing cowboy hats was very disappointing; barely any meat on the beef ribs ($7.00) each and their bbq beans salty.

Hands down this was the best farmers market we have experienced. There was a one block area of actual farmers selling a huge assortment of veggies. The 6 block area had live bands, kids events, and the California National Guard Band giving a concert. I wish that our hometown had something like this.

Farmers Market at downtown SLO. Great food, novelty items and fresh produce. Check it out on Thursday evenings. You won’t be disappointed! ☀️

This is by far my favorite farmers market in the country! Small enough to not feel overwhelmed, but they still have everything - live music on every corner, kid zones, lots of great food vendors, delicious produce, lots of handmade goods. And it’s on the Main Street, so plenty of options for grabbing a drink after the market. Some seating options and curb space to enjoy a vendor meal. I like the veggie tomales and Indian plate. I don’t live in the area, but will now plan my trips around this farmers market (Thursday evenings)!
