Old Monterey Farmers Market Returns October 27 on Alvarado Street, 4–7 PM

MONTEREY, Monterey County — October 26, 2026. Families and residents shopping for seasonal food have a recurring downtown event on Tuesday, October 27. The Old Monterey Marketplace and Farmers Market takes place on Alvarado Street from 4 to 7 p.m., with vendors offering produce, food and crafts. The organizer lists the market as free to enter and generally operating rain or shine.

A free public market is not the same thing as free groceries; vendors set prices for their products. Visitors interested in food-assistance benefits should confirm the current program rules at the market rather than assume every seller accepts every payment method. The weekly gathering attracts pedestrians, so motorists should check current downtown access and parking signs and allow time to walk from nearby streets. Individual vendor attendance may vary according to weather or supply.
