The El Paso Artist and Farmers market has returned to downtown El Paso with more vendors than ever, bringing community members to the area.<\/p>\n

Hosted by the City of El Paso\u2019s Museums and Cultural Affairs Department, the market brings together a diverse group of vendors offering products ranging from fresh food and agricultural goods to handmade arts and crafts. In addition to shopping, visitors can enjoy live music and entertainment, much of which is supported by volunteers who help set up and maintain the event each week.<\/p>\n

For local vendors, the market serves as an important platform to grow their businesses and connect with the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do workshops around town, so these markets allow people to know that I do these [hand embroidery], so that they can take the classes and add to the workshop,\u201d Rosabril Hoyt, owner of Everyday Honey said. \u201cIt allows people to get to know my business.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tServing as a chance to widen their audience and engage with the community, local vendors show off and sell their goods at the El Paso Artist and Farmers market on March 21, 2026.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Founded in 2011, the market expanded its offerings and accessibility in 2013 following a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Today, it continues to serve as a hub for local commerce and culture.
The market takes place every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Union Plaza through September, giving residents and visitors multiple opportunities to attend.<\/p>\n

Even after the market season ends, vendors continue to promote their businesses through social media and hosting events at other local venues.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen there\u2019s no market, I stay active on Instagram,\u201d Hoyt said. \u201cI also host workshops in coffee shops and wine bars around town, which helps me reach new audiences.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Marketgoers,\u00a0including Audrey Guillen,\u00a0say the market contributes to the growing energy of downtown El Paso\u00a0and encourages\u00a0residents to be more locally involved.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s nice to have events that bring people downtown,\u201d Guillen said. \u201cIt\u2019s getting a lot livelier. I was looking for something to do, and now that it\u2019s warmer, it\u2019s great to see something happening every Saturday.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The market is\u00a0located\u00a0at 400 W. San Antonio Ave., Suite A, in Union Plaza, between San Francisco Avenue and Anthony Street.\u00a0<\/p>\n
