Saturday mornings in Old Town Scottsdale have a fresh starting point this fall: the farmers market returns October 3, 2026, at a new address.

Head to 3939 N. Drinkwater Blvd. rather than relying on the route you remember from previous seasons.

The address to save before Saturday

The opening-day schedule is 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., with those Saturday hours continuing through the fall and winter.

The market season runs from October 2026 through June 2027, with shorter hours later in spring and early summer.

For returning shoppers, the location change is the essential detail to pass along when inviting a friend.

What to shop for

More than 100 local growers and specialty food producers participate in the market, which focuses on food and farming.

Offerings include produce, eggs, meat, cheese, artisan bread, jams, tamales, and other specialty foods.

Availability will depend on the individual vendors and the day, so treat your shopping list as a starting point rather than a promise.

Make it a relaxed morning

Bring reusable bags and consider an insulated bag if your plans include buying food that needs to stay cool.

A short shopping list can help you avoid bringing home more than you can use, while leaving room for an unexpected ingredient.

Try planning one meal around something you find instead of trying to organize the entire week at once.

Before leaving, check the current market information and allow time to find your way around the new setting.

If you are meeting friends, agree on an exact meeting point so nobody heads to the old location out of habit.

Keep the outing simple

Well-mannered pets are welcome, and the market describes itself as family friendly.

For a leisurely Saturday, make the market your first stop and decide afterward whether to stay in Old Town for coffee or lunch.

That approach leaves room to browse without turning a casual outing into a tightly scheduled itinerary.

The best reason to return this week is straightforward: a familiar Scottsdale tradition has a new home.
