Free admission and parking available on-site. Bring cash as not all vendors accept cards. The market operates rain or shine, so dress appropriately for weather.

Open year-round every Sunday, though vendor selection varies by season. Summer brings peak produce variety including NM green chile (late summer). Fall features pumpkins and autumn harvest items. Winter market is smaller but cozy with holiday crafts and winter greens.

Perea's Restaurant & Tijuana Bar (5 minutes away) offers New Mexican favorites in a family-friendly setting, or grab breakfast burritos at Tecolote Cafe in Corrales before heading to the market.
