The Old Town Scottsdale Farmers Market will soon have a new home. The City Council approved an agreement at its regular meeting Nov. 17 that moves the popular Saturday market from its current location from the city-owned parking structure at First Street and Brown Avenue to the City Hall surface lot at 75th Street and Bennie Gonzales Way.

The change comes as the city prepares to expand the parking structure, which has hosted the market for more than a decade. The move will take effect when the 2026–27 season begins.

City Manager Greg Caton said the goal was to keep the market thriving with as little disruption as possible.

“The farmers market is one of Scottsdale’s most loved traditions,” Caton said. “Moving it to City Hall keeps it close to the heart of Old Town and gives vendors and visitors the space they need while we make improvements elsewhere. It’s a win for residents, small businesses and the community as a whole.”

The Old Town Farmers Market has been a fixture for Scottsdale residents since 2009, drawing crowds each Saturday from October through June. The market hosts around 100 vendors each week, including local growers, bakers, food producers and artisans. It’s known for its fresh produce, specialty foods and lively atmosphere.

The new location, with more room and easier access, will continue to offer the same wide mix of goods and community events that have made it a weekend favorite.

Beyond fresh food and local shopping, the market provides benefits for Scottsdale families and businesses. It brings more foot traffic to nearby restaurants and shops, supports Arizona farmers and food makers and accepts voucher programs that help low-income families buy healthy food.

The market also collaborates with Scottsdale’s Senior Services and takes part in major city events like Western Week, Scottsdazzle and June Days.

Under the new agreement, the market can set up at City Hall on as many as 40 Saturdays a year.

City staff said the move will not require additional city resources or staffing.
