Farmers & Crafts Market of Las Cruces

This was a large farmers market. Several blocks of vendors and food. A lot of handmade jewelry, pottery, paintings, photographs, just to name a few. Live music playing. Every vendor we spoke to was very nice. On this day, there was one vendor selling produce. It closes at 1pm, so get there early to take it all in.

This is such a cool experience and very dog friendly. I would advise to show up early specially if you want to buy fresh produce, that is the first thing that goes right away. I loved walking around and checking out the different vendors, but it was really nice to see tons of musicians throughout the street doing their thing. This is definitely an all ages activity kind of farmers market.

This is one of the best farmers markets you will ever visit in the USA. It has something for everybody. Everything about it is perfect. I just wish in the winter It started a little later and went on till about 3pm, but in summer, you don’t want to be there much past 1pm as it starts to get very hot. Luckily, it opens early around 8am Saturdays are great as they close off the whole downtown Main Street so it’s very pedestrian friendly. While you’re in downtown Las Cruces, there’s some great cafés and a really nice art museum and cultural center so plan to be there a while if you’re visiting from out of town. When it gets hot visit some of the indoor places and Coas bookstore. There are musicians who rotate positions throughout the market help them out give them some cash, they are working hard. Also great food trucks. I love everything about this market. Dogs are allowed but their paws will get hot and they will need water and shade. So please take care of your K9 friends. There are lots of unique and handmade items which as far as I know is a requirement to be a participant in this market no mass produced stuff is allowed, though some of it may sneak in. But 99% of what you see here is handmade by the crafters and home grown food from small local farms.

Ive lived around the country and this is the absolute best farmers market I’ve been to- not overpriced vegetables or a bunch of crap from China no one realistically wants. The stuff here was awesome- beautiful jewelry, glass ornaments etc. clean. Nice people with their dogs walking around. Will definitely go again!

The Farmers Market is one of our favorite stops in Las Cruces, and we often plan our trips so we can include a couple of hours here. We love the variety of vendors, fresh fruits and vegetables, baked foods, and talented artisans. We are never disappointed.

My husband and I take all of our visitors to the Farmers Market They are amazed by the size of the markwt and variety of items for sale. Our dog, Guido is also a fan and gets so excited to interact with the people and other dogs ❤️

It is the largest market I have visited. There is an excellent variety of vendors—lots of talent in the streets with an opportunity to enjoy the live array of music. I also found a couple of shops around the area with great handmade items. It's a great way to spend a Saturday morning.

Great little market downtown. Streets are closed for the vendors and people walking. Lots of food,arts, and farm stands
