Tucson's largest year-round farmers market is located along the bike trail known as The Loop and nestled in the Southeast corner of Rillito Park. The Rillito Park Farmers Market hosts farmers, ranchers and artisan food purveyors featuring local produce and fresh cuisine, year-round. After years of marketing at a local shopping center, Heirloom Farmers Markets worked in collaboration with Pima County and the Rillito Park Foundation to build this state-of-the-art, permanent farmers market space. The 3 shade pavilions (5,000 sq.ft. of shopping shade), center entertainment circle, public restrooms and additional pads boasts space for over 80 small businesses who assemble there. Offering seasonal chef & cooking demonstrations, special planting events, bike events and market music makes this flagship market a special gastronomy destination for the community.
