The farmers market in downtown San Rafael is such a longstanding tradition and AIM is excited to offer this for our local community. You will discover and connect with farmers selling a bounty of seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables. Savor the Summer Farmers Market with farm-fresh produce, honey, baked goods, wine, craft beer, specialty snacks, dog treats, handmade crafts, and community. Come dine al fresco or take home street style foods spanning the globe, from Guatemalan tacos to Texas BBQ to Turkish dips.

Rooted in the heart of San Rafael, the market also features handcrafted foods from local makers, one-of-a-kind handmade pieces from crafters, artists, and small businesses from around the Bay Area.

San Rafael Farmers Market is one of two seasonal AIM farmers markets, open from mid-May to August, and AIM’s only evening market.
