Tasting dates at the end was very good, such diverse textures and flavors, but just being there was a great experience as the trees are lovely with real presence. Shaded nicely on a hot day.

Easy to find but parking can be difficult at times. FACILITY: perfect location for a farmers market, lots of vendors and open spaces. They seem to be dog friendly which is unusual for most open markets. SELECTION: all kinds of things from fruits and vegetables to handmade crafts. Lots of vendor food as well as local restaurants to choose from Tamales are great. OVERALL VALUE: while it is fun, it is really expensive for fresh produce. Not sure why that is but we just look around and seldom purchase anything as most of it seems overpriced. TIP: Get there when it opens, parking is easier and lines at the popular booths are shorter.

Yay!!!!! What a…read morefantastic day to be alive in Palm Springs ! There were LOTs of farmers market vendors , farm to table, certified organic, preservative and other cr*p free goods to purchase today ... more than usual. Today, I purchased a head of super fresh, super organic romaine from one of the farm to table organic farmers. Additionally I purchased Persian cucumbers, fresh parsley, radish micro greens, rosemary vinaigrette. All of which will go into one of my many salads. Bee pollen from Suzee's Bees .. Yep. I put bee pollen on my granola. I'm one of those weirdos .. lol Can't not purchase all of these organic foods, since I was raised as a vegetarian. Whether I liked it or not .. I was raised vegan. Must be that California upbringing. Also, there is a cafe that serves breakfast foods like omelette & bagels. I arrived too late and the kitchen wasn't making omelettes anymore :-( BUT, there is a bar there .. you can get real booze in your fresh squeezed OJ .... Ha ! Yep ... you can be the rebel that you KNOW you are by spiking your fresh squeezed and cold pressed juices. It's like going to an organic juice bar that serves booze. When does that EVER happen ? Perfect. Thank You Cultural Center ! There is always something going on at the cultural center. It's a lively place.

I haven't been to the indoor market which moved inside to the pavilion during the summer months as…read moreit is hot outside. Only checked out the outdoor market which is great in itself. The pavilion does have a decent amount of parking in the lot. Literally right next door to the community pool. It's also where the vintage market that happens once a month is held as well. The market is free to get in. Pets aren't allowed with signs posted out front. Once inside, everything is in the main room. First impression, wow it looked pretty cramped. They have a good amount of vendors on deck but majority of the vendors are produce and fruits. It's kind of a given as it's a farmers market. Also a few bakery and specialty stalls were also set up. There's not really a marked path to follow but make your own way. It can get packed as the room is filled with stalls and customers. Downfall, I didn't see any vendors with fresh cut flowers. Loads of fruits on displays and very colorful. Compared to the outside market, I feel like this one is lacking in a sense of vendors. I don't know if they rotate who can sell each week or if everyone that was there this weekend was the usuals. Don't get me wrong, there's loads of fresh produce and fruits on display but it was a bit too cramped for me. I prefer it outside but with the desert heat, this is definitely better for everyone and everything.
