We love visiting this Saturday Market while in San Jose. Great food booths. Incredible beverage choices (juices, kambucha, sodas). Organic produce. Fantastic artisans. Spend the day because you can relax in the shade of a tent and listen to great music while you eat delicious food and sip tasty beverages!

Super yummy local food, and some gringo stuff too. All tasty! There are intro to carpentry classes, and lots of crafts, art, jams, honey, soaps, massage, and live music. Within an open air sports complex with gym, pool, tennis, pickleball, and classes.
Worth the visit.

The market happens every Saturday from 9 AM in an open field about 1/2 km from the Catholic Church at the main plaza.
People set up stalls to sell things they make or produces.
You can find hand made jewelry, clothes, garden vegetables, art work and food.
In the middle there was a childrens play area and the music tent
Whole place was set up to spend time leisurely. Very enjoyable.

Friendly atmosphere; nice space on the lawns of La Huerta Sports Club. Many handicrafts and delightful choices of foods with space to dine. Live audience music on a hippie type stage brings in many listeners…

Fun place to interact on Saturday. Lots of food, beverages, arts, crafts, books, maps, decor items etc. Bring cash (both Pesos & Dollars) for negotiations & some small change to tip the banos attendant & parking guys. Live entertainment too!
