It’s a fresh take on a San Rafael tradition—introducing the new Downtown San Rafael Summer Market!
We’ve partnered with the City of San Rafael and local brewery Pond Farm to host a new concept focused on local makers and street foods.
This seasonal summer night market will be packed with flavor, handcrafted goods, and vibrant entertainment. Hang out at the beer garden, peruse the gorgeous goods from our artisans, relax in the grass with some great eats while the live music plays around you. Enjoy the city with friends and neighbors and connect over local food and supporting small businesses.
We’re elevating the experience this year with a lively musician series, plus interactive art activities and games for kids. The Summer Market coincides with the 2nd Friday Art Walk—come and see what makes San Rafael a cultural arts destination.
This reimagined Summer Market is more than just a place to shop. It’s a celebration of community and the vibrant spirit of San Rafael’s 150-year anniversary. Mark your calendars!
San Rafael Farmers Market is one of two seasonal AIM farmers markets, and AIM’s only evening market.
Each market is its own event with unique artisans, lively entertainment, and hands-on art activities for everyone.
