I am a huge Farmers Market junky and this one is by far one of the best!!! Such a great atmosphere, selection of food, and vendors. It is a great place to go with your family, loved ones or friends. It also is in a great location! I would absolutely recommend this farmers market!

My favorite Fresno activity with the hubs is our weekly Tuesdates at the River Park Farmers Market :) From 5pm –9pm, River Park is filled with fruits and vegetables vendors which are way cheaper than the Vineyard Farmers Market located on Shaw on Wednesdays and Saturdays. They also have a Corn Stand, freshly popped kettle corn, friend mini donuts, boba shake, food trucks, sandwich vendor, Hawaiian Shaved Ice, and free entertainment like live music and clowns with balloon animals and a magician! Why wouldn’t you be here in a Tuesday!!! The hubs and I would buy whatever fruit or veggies we needed for the week and usually eat on the outside patio of Yoshionos and people watch. Great place for a date, to bring your children, or just to get out of the house and enjoy the warm summer night.

This is the first year I have shopped at this farmer’s market. I’m usually not an evening shopper, preferring to get my produce in the early morning, but I knew that Schletewitz Farms would be there, and I would not be able to make The Market on Kern the next morning so off we went. Parking at River Park is usually a nightmare, but at 5 pm it seems a bit easier and I found a convenient spot in the garage. That, I know, was just the luck of the draw. The farmer’s market takes place on the street in front of the theater pavilion so it’s an easy walk from almost any of the parking areas. There is a large variety of vendors, not just the usual produce vendors. My husband chatted with the coffee roaster, Amber Coffee, a very small artisanal roaster. I was able to get 9 pounds of apricots with which to make jam. It was a good trip, and I would probably return to River Park.

I absolutely adore farmers markets and River Park’s offering is top notch! It is located in the River Park shopping center(in the space where the Christmas tree usually is during the holidays/in front of Teazer’s and Yoshino) on Tuesday evenings from 5pm-9pm. The range of things available for you to buy is incredible. Not only do you get the typical fresh produce but there were stands for nuts, hummus, honey, handcrafted soaps, face painting, candles, and coffee to name a few. I even saw a clown making animal balloons! Worried about shopping when hungry? They’ve got you covered. This farmers market also has food trucks and stands. There’s everything from boba shakes to tacos to pizza to corn on the cob. The best part? Everything is cheap and you’re supporting the local economy! Please note that while some vendors do accept plastic, many are cash only. Fortunately there are ATMs conveniently located nearby(I went to the one in front of the movie theater). If only they had live music– that would make this the perfect weekday evening activity. I’m already looking forward to coming back again.
