VAIL FARMERS MARKET
The Vail Farmers Market located in the heart of Vail Village. The event hosts 135 tents and 17 Sundays throughout the summer and fall.
The market has more than just fruits and vegetables, and some of my favorites include locally made horseradish, honey, and cheese spread.
The Vail Farmers Market attracts farms from Palisades, Colorado that travel up the valley with their peaches, cherries, and wine. A lot of their produce fulfills the orders from Harry and David, so you know you are getting top-notch products.
The Vail Farmers Market has locally made lavender products and plenty of stands for eating to your heart’s content!
Vaill Jazz Festival provides live entertainment. View the schedule There any more vendors and sidewalk sales from the permanent retail stores in Vail Village.
A special treat is to stop into the Gilded Spruce at Checkpoint Charlie for not only holiday cheer but also summer gifts, garden gifts, birdhouses, and hummingbird feeders.
It’s a fabulous way to spend Sunday Fun Day!
