Things To Do In Scottsdale AZ: Visit the Old Town Scottsdale Farmers' Market - 01/28/11 11:27 PM
Looking for something to do on weekends in Scottsdale, Arizona? Why not spend Saturday morning at the Old Town Scottsdale Farmers' Market?
Every Saturday (except for posted major holidays,) from 8:30AM to 1PM, the market is in full swing. Vendors from all over the area, many with locally sourced products, man their booths.
On our last visit, we had the opportunity to chat with a few of the vendors. I wish we had had the time to meet some more of them since there were so many great purveyors in attendance, but we will work on that the next time we go.
