Farmers’ markets are always fun. But there’s just something about the Lake Tahoe farmers’ markets that take it to the next level. Maybe it’s that you only get them from spring until fall, when the snow melts and the summer months are here? Whatever it is, they scream summer and are not to be missed.
Yes, friends, there are organic veggies. There’s pasture-raised bacon. There’s live music, good times and food trucks. And so, pack up your canvas bag and head to one of these mountain markets to get a tote full of leafy greens and a smile on your face.

South Lake Tahoe Farmers Markets
Meyers Mountain Market
We really didn’t need another reason to love Paradise Park, but we’ve been graciously given one in the form of the Meyers Mountain Market. A CA certified farmers market, the Meyers Mountain Market is a happy gathering of arts & crafts vendors, fresh produce, food trucks, fresh baked goods and beyond.
- Wednesdays: 3:00pm – 7:30pm
- Tahoe Paradise Park
- Starts June 3rd—Ends September 9th, 2026
Small but mighty, we adore this market for the venue, live music and upbeat, local vibe. If you’re not familiar with Tahoe Paradise Park, this is a great excuse to go. Leave the kids to frolic on the playground while you share a food truck taco on the shores of Lake Baron or exchange beet recipes during a stroll along the Upper Truckee River. Wednesdays don’t get much better than that.
El Dorado County Farmers Market
Centrally located in the heart of South Lake Tahoe is a Tuesday morning delight—the El Dorado County Farmers Market. Filled with vendors from all over the region, fresh produce is just the beginning at this locally loved market.
- Tuesdays: 8:00am – 1:00pm
- American Legion Hall Parking Lot
- Starts June 1st—Ends October 13th, 2026
You’ll want to bring an extra bag or two to handle all the goodness. Or not, I mean, it’s definitely a nice place to spend the morning even if a simple stroll is all that’s on the agenda. But realistically, we can’t think of a better way to spend your hard earned money than on some wholesome, sustainably raised jerky, freshly baked bread loaves or handcrafted necklaces.
Ski Run Farmers Market
Visitors, rejoice! Located a mere Lime scooter ride away from Stateline is a wholesome pregame for your wild Friday night. Head to the Ski Run Farmers Market for food truck snacks, live music, and perhaps a bushel of raspberries. (The best berry, non-negotiable.)
- Fridays: 3:00pm – 8:00pm
- Ski Run Blvd.
- Starts June 6th—Ends September 11th, 2026
Find all the usual suspects here—organic fruits and veggies, of course—plus a wide variety of Lake Tahoe made treasures like jams, hot sauces, empanadas and artisan goods. One of South Lake Tahoe’s favorite farmers’ markets, this one boasts a peek of a lake view plus a bustling Friday night scene that just feels like summer. Plus, there are a few restaurants nearby if you’re looking for an aprés market happy hour.
Zephyr Cove Farmer’s Market
There’s a new farmer’s market in the rotation! Conveniently located at the Engels & Volker parking area in the Round Hill Shopping Center, this provides a welcome addition to the southeast shore of the lake!
The Zephyr Cove location makes it the perfect stopping point for beach-goers or Stateline visitors. Plus, it boasts a Saturday date making it a fun weekend option.

- 210 Elks Point Rd #102, Zephyr Cove, NV 89448

North Lake Tahoe Farmers Markets
Tahoe City Farmer’s Market
We will not pick favorites, we just won’t. But let’s just say there’s a little “come for the produce, stay for the views” situation happening at the Tahoe City Farmers Market. Located at Commons Beach with beautiful Lake Tahoe as her backdrop, this farmers market is easy to love for obvious reasons.
- Thursdays: 8:00am – 1:00pm
- Commons Beach
- Starts May 14th—Ends October 22nd, 2026
And yes, the venue is excellent, but the goods are so good too. In addition to flavorful local produce, there’s local vendors and food trucks selling everything from botanical beauty products to gourmet cheese. Eggs and microgreens, hand knit scarves and sourdough loaves—it’s an artisan lover’s paradise set in actual paradise. Case made.
Tahoe City Fall Harvest Market
Four seasons living has its perks—but a long, thriving farmer’s market season is not one of them. The folks running the Tahoe City Fall Harvest Market are here to lift our spirits, though. Picking up where the city’s standard farmers’ market leaves off, this one runs through late fall and early December, offering fresh produce and fun times when everything else is done for the season.
- Thursdays: 8:30am – 1:00pm
- Boatworks at Lake Tahoe
- Starts October 30th—Ends December 18th, 2025
- Closed on Thanksgiving Day
Hosted at the Boatworks Mall, your Thursday afternoon market stroll is complete with lake views and neighboring shops and restaurants. Of course, most importantly, you’ll be in a cute, covered venue that isn’t affected by rain or snow.
Incline Village Farmers Market
When you’re done in Tahoe City, cruise towards the east side of north Lake Tahoe to hit up the Incline Village Farmers Market. Located in the Incline Village library parking lot, this small but diverse market brings the heat with a lot of amazing products.
- Thursdays: 3:00pm – 6:00pm
- 1210 Ski Way, Incline Village (Diamond Peak Ski Resort; Upper Lot)
- Starts May 21st—Ends September 3rd, 2026
One of two Nevada farmer’s markets on the list, it more than holds its own with a huge variety of goods ranging from local honey to artisanal charcuterie. Perfect for a little fresh produce pick-up on your way home from Sand Harbor, there’s plenty of tasty snacks and good energy to be found here.
Truckee Farmers Markets
Truckee Certified Farmers Market
Truckee really don’t mess around when it comes to incredible artisan goods. And what better place to discover the best of them than the Truckee Certified Farmers Market, where wildly unique products abound in an idyllic setting along the Truckee River.
- Tuesdays: 8:00am – 1:00pm
- Truckee River Regional Park
- Starts May 5th—Ends October 27th, 2026
It’s a little bit magical and that’s before we even get to the sheepskin pelts, award-winning olive oils, heaping radish piles or fresh chocolate chip cookies. If you’re anything like us, the location of the market is a major perk since you can take whatever goods you score for an immediate riverside picnic. (It’s not a lack of patience, it’s a dedication to freshness, okay?!)
Truckee Thursdays
As the king of outdoor markets, Truckee Thursdays deserved a spot on this list. It’s technically not a farmer’s market—in fact, it has everything but the farmers. But it delivers the same community-focused vibe, plus the artisan goods, local shops and friendly faces that we love seeing every week.
- Thursdays: 5:00pm – 8:30pm
- Downtown Truckee
- Starts June 18th – Ends August 6th, 2026
Hosted by the Truckee Downtown Merchant’s Association, Truckee Thursdays is a once-monthly street festival celebrating all things Truckee. Your old favorite and soon-to-be new favorite breweries, shops, artisans, authors, restaurants and beyond will all have a presence there. Dance in the streets to live music, bring the kids for crafts & activities, enjoy a few pints in the beer garden; it’s truly the ultimate summertime event and not to be missed.
