Downtown Santa Monica Farmers Market

Downtown Santa Monica Farmers Market (Wednesday Market)

The Santa Monica Wednesday Farmers Market is one of Los Angeles’ most beloved mid-week rituals—a bustling open-air gathering where local farmers, artisans, chefs, and neighborhood residents all converge along Arizona Avenue. Every Wednesday morning, the street transforms into a vibrant corridor of fresh produce, seasonal flowers, small-batch goods, and the easy, sun-soaked rhythm unique to coastal California.

Stalls brim with just-picked vegetables, citrus, stone fruit, and organic specialties, while the scent of herbs and fresh bread drifts through the tents. Chefs from some of LA’s best restaurants quietly shop shoulder-to-shoulder with locals, scouting the week’s freshest ingredients.

More than a market, it feels like the heartbeat of the community—relaxed, friendly, and deeply tied to California’s farm culture. Whether you come for the produce, the atmosphere, or simply a slow wander among the growers, the Wednesday market offers an intimate glimpse of Santa Monica at its most authentic.

The market takes place on: Arizona Avenue between 2nd St and 4th St, Santa Monica, CA 90401
Wednesdays, 8:30 AM – 1:30 PM
