Aspen Saturday Market

Aspen Saturday Market is a weekly farmers market in Aspen operating since 1998, featuring Colorado-grown produce and Colorado-produced artisan products from local vendors and farmers. The market runs Saturdays from mid-June to early October, with hours from 8:30 AM to 2 PM in June through August and 9 AM to 2 PM from September 6th to October 4th. The market forms a U-shape from the corner of Galena and Hopkins Avenue to Hunter Street and back to the intersection of Hyman and Galena in central Aspen.

Vendors sell fresh Colorado-grown fruits, vegetables, bread, locally raised meats, jams, honey, pickles, and specialty food products. Seasonal produce includes tomatoes, corn, peaches, apples, greens, and herbs alongside baked goods and artisanal items from regional food makers. A food court area provides prepared meals, coffee, and snacks. The market operates under strict vendor criteria allowing only Colorado-made, grown, and produced items, with no brokers permitted. Vendors are carefully screened to select a diverse group providing high-quality products.

The Aspen Saturday Market was approved by City Council in 1998, originally allowing only agricultural vendors before later approving artisans. Vendor applications are due in late December of the previous year. The market serves residents, chefs, and visitors seeking fresh, locally sourced ingredients while supporting Colorado agriculture and small food businesses. Vendors provide information about farming practices, seasonal availability, and preparation suggestions for their products.
