Come for the amazing vendors, stay for the gorgeous location! The Grand Lake Farmers Market is situated in Splash Pad Park, a beautiful outdoor gathering spot designed by Oakland’s own Walter Hood. A bevy of vendors serves up everything you need—organic produce, flowers, coffee, pastries, and prepared goods like dim sum—so you can fill up your tote and enjoy a grassy picnic among the palm trees, native gardens, and fountain.

Vibrant, communal, and bustling, Grand Lake Farmers Market has a dynamic, welcoming vibe with people from all walks of life. Visit via AC Transit, or find plenty of parking for both cars and bikes.

From humble beginnings to one of the Bay Area’s largest, the Grand Lake Farmers Market regularly earns “Best Farmer’s Market” honors!
