Our family spent a couple hours on Saturday enjoying the market downtown Las Cruces. What a treasure!! We had some wonderful food and great conversations with locals. So many talented people! I really appreciated that the city has strict policies
about the vendors being actual artists, food vendors...and not retailers. Very cool! We ended up getting cash at the ATM at the bank downtown....but many vendors take credit. Also, I dont use the public bathrooms if you can help it...they are a little sketchy

So fun! Lots of vendors along with farmers selling fresh produce. Las Cruces has a vibrant downtown area which is great to see in NM. With the music playing, there was quite a festive & positive vibe.

Although there weren’t many vendors there last Saturday (corona virus concerns???) it was nice to buy local honey, baked goods, etc. and see lots of people and dogs. A great community gathering spot on Saturday morning. Hope to be back some day.

We hope to have you back so you can experience the market at its full operation! Unfortunately during your visit we were under tight restrictions because of Covid-19 and only had agricultural vendors present.
We are glad that you were able to grab some local goodies!

A good group of vendors tightly controlled group of good ol' girls
Who set arbitrarily rules that only make sense to them.
The vendors are pawns so the market managers can collect the fee's and control the artisans
and craft persons by threat of excluding anyone who questions their rules or authority.
The market should be run to the benefit of the vendors and artists
not a group who only wishes to promote their own agenda.

BLUF: NEVER go on Wednesday. Went Wednesday, 4/28/2021 @ 0830. Only 1 vendor selling peppers and pecans. The vendor state no one visits on Wednesday, only Saturdays so no vendors show.

Wanted to experience a large market of vendors with local goods but only saw a half dozen. No bathrooms open on the weekday but only on weekends. One vendor was extremely helpful with information that sold wood products.

This Farmers Market is GREAT! So many vendors it's really worth your time to check it out. We went on a Saturday. The kettle corn at the end of the long street is very good! He can sprinkle on different flavors too! Get to this early before the long line forms!

If your into farmers market you should definitely check out this one. There here every Saturday and Wednesday. But on Wednesday there not to many vendors. They have beautiful arts and crafts. Good food and what I like the chile and honey is home grown. Best of the best. Prices are reasonable but it can get prices. Best time to go when the weather is nice. Don't recommend windy days . And the vendor are very friendly.

We sort of stumbled across this place when we read about it on a road sign close to our hotel. We like Farmer's Markets and were in no rush to be anywhere on Saturday so we drove over. There is plenty of parking close by, especially if you get there early. There is parking behind some of the businesses across the street, as well as on-street parking.
The actual market had about 75 stalls with everything from hand made jewelry to locally grown food to food being cooked there on the spot. The mariachi band was just finishing up for the day as we got there, but if you get there before 11, you can probably catch a little free concert. And some of the vendors can be negotiated with on price. I purchased 2 gemstone cabachons there from a vendor and was able to negotiate a better price.
As far as mixing with the locals and doing it for free, you really can't beat this market. It's got a great atmosphere with many talented vendors!

This is really a Farmers & Crafters Market held Wednesday and Saturday mornings year around. We’ve only been on Saturday mornings when hundreds of artists and musicians and dog lovers mingle in about four blocks of the Downtown Mall of Las Cruces. Most of the activities are outdoors but there is a wonderful book store and a colorful quilt shop that are not to be missed either. There is a partial list of the vendors at lascrucesfarmersmarket.org.

Hi!
We are planning to relocate to Las Cruces in the near future and would like to know more about the Market. Where is it held? Which days? Any other "must do" events you would recommend? Can't wait!!

Farmer's Market is Wednesday and Saturday; they have a good web page to check out. If you are moving to Cruces, please understand you are among a huge wave of folks headed that way. The state is mired in poverty and a great deal of corruption. There are brewing fights over water. There are very few services available through the state, the county or the city for seniors, children or the unemployed. (Or those who need mental health services; the state outsourced them and then Arizona decided they didn't want the business. Result? No state mental health services!) We love southern New Mexico, but be informed, value and love the local Latino and Native cultures and you will be welcomed.
