Old Colorado City Farmers Market (Saturday)

This is the large west-side market in Bancroft Park, the one with the most variety compared with smaller neighborhood markets. Over 40 seasons in the same park. Produce, baked goods, crafts, and a walkable stretch of shops right on Colorado Avenue.

Local tip from the archive: pair market morning with breakfast across the street at La Baguette (2417 W. Colorado Ave.). Quiet, quaint, rarely a huge line. An easy couple of hours on the west side. More on that walk in the Old Colorado City guide.

When: Saturdays, June 6 – October 17, 2026, 7 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Where: Bancroft Park, 2408 W. Colorado Avenue
Arrive early if you want parking close and first pick of produce; the park fills on nice weekends.

Colorado Farm & Art Market at Pine Creek (Saturday)

CFAM’s Saturday market sits at The Margarita at Pine Creek. Firsthand local take: it is smaller, more of a neighborhood farmers market. Parking is a big dirt lot out front; it gets busy, but finding a space is usually easy. You will not get the vendor variety of Old Colorado City, and that is the point for a quieter morning.

When: Saturdays, June 20 – October 17, 2026, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Where: 7350 Pine Creek Road
Note: 100% Colorado vendors (farm, ranch, art, makers). Confirm late-season dates on farmandartmarket.com.

Downtown options: Wednesday CFAM + Sunday Market

CFAM Wednesday lands at The Meanwhile Block (132 W. Cimarron) from 3–7 p.m., June 17 – October 21, 2026. Good if Saturdays do not work: an afternoon downtown run after work or before dinner.

Colorado Springs Sunday Market runs May 10 – October 25, 2026, 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. at Acacia Park downtown (115 E. Platte Ave.). Farm-fresh produce and local eats in the park. Useful if your only free day is Sunday.

Visitor tips for market weekend

Bring small bills and a reusable bag. Many vendors take cards now, but cash is still faster in a crowd. SNAP / Double Up Fruit & Vegetable programs apply at some Colorado markets; ask the info booth. Summer thunderstorms can cut a market short; check social the morning of.

If you are visiting for a Saturday market, base near Old Colorado City or downtown so you are not fighting airport-corridor traffic for a 7 a.m. start. Manitou is a short hop west if you want mineral springs and the arcade after the OCC stalls.

Where to stay for a farmers market weekend

Stay downtown if you want the Sunday Market at Acacia Park and CFAM’s Wednesday afternoon market within a short walk or ride. Stay on the west side (Old Colorado City / Manitou) if Saturday at Bancroft Park is the main event.

Prefer the west side for Saturday OCC market mornings and an easy roll into Manitou:
