Things to do

Markets

Explore farmers markets and artisan pop-ups featuring local makers and seasonal produce.

New Mexico’s markets connect you directly with local farmers, artisans, and food producers in vibrant gathering spaces that celebrate community and sustainability.

Albuquerque Farmers Markets

The Saturday morning market at ABQ Uptown runs year-round with local produce, crafts, and prepared foods. The Sunday market at the Fairgrounds offers a larger selection during peak season.

Santa Fe Farmers Market

The year-round Saturday market in downtown Santa Fe features seasonal produce, organic goods, prepared foods, and local artisan crafts. The Thursday evening summer market offers a more intimate community feel.

Community Markets

Every town hosts seasonal farmers markets. Taos, Las Cruces, and smaller communities maintain vibrant market traditions connecting local producers with customers.

Artisan & Craft Markets

Beyond food, markets showcase local artists and craftspeople. Indian Market in Santa Fe (August) is the world’s premier Native American art market. Spring and fall art markets throughout the state feature jewelry, weaving, pottery, and paintings.

Pueblo Market Days

Many pueblos host seasonal markets where artists sell directly—jewelry, pottery, weaving, and other traditional crafts. This direct-to-maker purchasing supports individual artists and families.

Market Experience

Markets offer more than shopping—they’re social hubs where community members gather, friends reconnect, and visitors experience authentic local culture. Arrive early for best selection and to avoid crowds.
