Also brought a bag of Brothas chocolate chip cookies that are freshly baked. Sooo good. Live music by Slow Killers- oldies, country, classic rock- and lots of dancers of all ages. read more

I visited the Fullerton Night Market and decided to order from Olga's Cocina again. This time, I got a mole con pollo burrito ($12). The cashier told me that they ran out of beans, meaning that the burrito would come only with meat and rice. Still, the meal was very filling for dinner. I really enjoyed the mole's deep mix of savory and earthy flavors. The salsas provided were delicious as well. There is seating in front of their food truck if you'd rather stay close by while waiting for your food. Compared to other food sold at this night market, I believe the burrito from Olga's Cocina is a great deal for the portion size you receive. read more

Delicious food and live band to dance to. Fresh fruit and vegetable stands. Artisan artwork. Breads and cookies. Water spritz for kids to play in water. Enjoy Fullerton night with your family and friends. read more

We got a watermelon juice from the Mediterranean stand & realized 1/3 way in that there was a dead fly swimming in it. sadly, we already left & couldn't tell them. I don't usually make reviews but this one really made my stomach turn. I understand that things happen but quality needs to be check often. read more

This year the renamed Fullerton Night Market starts on April 2nd. I go there mainly to hear the rock and popular music bands play. I always enjoy Johnny Ramos and his dad Kid Ramos playing with their band. There are other good ones too like the Broughams. The food isn't haute cuisine but the Mediterranean kabobs are good. read more

Came here on a Thursday evening kind of late - just enough time to grab something from a vendor that was still serving food and find some empty seat in order to eat while listening to the band that was playing funk cover tunes on the bandstand. They were playing the Rick James song Give it To Me Baby just as I sat down to eat my Korean BBQ plate. There were a number of food vendors in the Fullerton Downtown Plaza where the band was playing. There was also a small row of produce vendors right outside the plaza along Wilshire but I was a little late for that as most of them were already packing up as I walked by them. The farmers market goes on from 4PM to 8:30 PM during the warmer months from Spring to Mid Fall avoiding the colder winter months. It's not a big market but it's nice enough in the evenings as there is a chill vibe because of the music. It wasn't crazy crowded but most of the seats were already taken by folks that were watching the band. There was also a beer garden that is part of the museum with proceeds going to benefit the Fullerton Museum Center and that seemed to be rather crowded. Bathrooms are in the northwest part of that same Fullerton Museum building if needed. Parking was easy - found a great spot right on Wilshire just across from the museum but it could be because I was rather late in arriving. Would definitely come again. read more

Fullerton Market - Give me that stuff, that funk, that sweet, that funky stuff - Farmers Market Near Me - Fullerton, California

Visited another Farmer's Market in Placentia before that was really small and underwhelming so I kept my expectations low. I was thoroughly surprised by the size and crowd of this particular Farmer's Market. Easy walk down to the market from the free parking structure right beside it. Row of different vendors ranging to jewelry, fruits, bread, coffee, etc. Towards the back there are also vendors selling hot foods, a band (noticed a ton of people brought lawn chairs to hang around), and an outdoor water area for kids to play. Great vibe and excellent place for families to hangout outdoors on a Thursday evening. read more

Nice people, no many organic foods though. Could keep the place a little bit cleaner. Good variety of foods.

great produce choices and super fun for the kids and whole family. live music . a jumper for kids (kids area not free) small splash pad area

Whether you're out with your friends, family, or partner, the Fullerton Farmer's Market is such a fun delight! I came here for the first time since moving to Fullerton with my boyfriend and had just the best time. Such a unique array of shops, cultures, foods, and entertainment! You have to stop by before the market ends in August. I'd especially like to compliment the Mediterranean food stand for their outstanding food. I didn't get their name, but they seem like a family who puts pride in their shawarmas -- as they should! I had some of the best chicken and watermelon juice of my life at this stand and have been thinking about it nonstop since. If you see a Mediterranean stand selling shawarmas and chicken skewers PLEASE do yourself a favor and grab a bite to eat!! read more

Great selection and not too crowded. Hot food was awesome and great fruits and veg! Try the hummus stand

Went to Fullerton's farmers market unfortunately there wasn't an abundant amount of vendors as the pictures you see in prior years, but the vendors that are there are keeping there sprits high in the mist of a pandemic and have good products. I saw 2 fruit and veggie stands, good produce, fresh. One vendor with baked goods, flower vendor beautiful flowers, Honey and coffee venders. Oh! And the hummus vendor. Good and friendly venders. I bought some produce. Support your local vendors, they need your help. Plenty of room to social distance. read more

Fullerton Market - Farmers Market Near Me - Fullerton, California

There are so many reasons to love downtown Fullerton, and this little outdoor market is just one more. First off, do not expect a giant farmer's marker filled with tons of samples and produce. It is fairly small, with a few vendors selling different things. Here is the rundown: 1. A fruit stand with samples to try -- they are $5/pound. White peaches are usually my favorite, but they also have all sorts of grapes, pluots, and nectarines. I love the fruit here, but it is a little pricey. 2. A few other businesses offer veggies, blueberries, oranges and strawberries. Some of them don't offer samples, and they have much less traffic than the ones that do! 3. If you don't want to eat, but are in the mood to shop-- there are lots of little tents selling aprons, candles, gift items, and random little knick knacks. There was also a booth on dog training. 4. This event is DOG-friendly. Keep in mind Fullerton is super hot during the summer, so bring water and doggy shoes so your dog doesn't burn his or her paw pads. 5. A few food businesses will be there if you want hot dogs or empanadas. I love getting agua frescas from the Mexican food stands! 6. There is a fun little water fountain/sprinkler thing in the middle of the food vendors that kids love to play in! 7. The live music is such a nice touch . 8. The market is Thursdays only from 4-8pm. I think this is only during certain seasons of the year. You'll have a lovely time as long as you know what to expect! Again, it's SMALL but very charming. read more

Fullerton Market - Dog friendly farmers market! - Farmers Market Near Me - Fullerton, California

The Fullerton Market is a little different in terms of a "Farmer's Market" to me..... (TIP) The Market generally runs from March to October, make sure to check their website before heading over. Also, before heading over, I would ask why are you going? If you are going to shop the 'local' deals, you might be disappointed--maybe its an OC thing, but I can throw a stone and get 'farm/organic' food, so the prices and what was offered didn't knock me over with delight. The owners are nice, but everything just seemed pricey. I wasn't interested in bath salts, or getting my palm read either lol. What I like about this market is it's a good place for your kids to play with other kids, they have a little train, a bouncy house, and a nice play area. Also people seem to love to bring their doggies here and socialize--I noticed some regulars, and had a good time chatting with some of them. They also have a splash pad which is perfect to keep the minions entertained. The Fullerton Market also has a beer garden area if drinking pricey local beers is your thing, and a stage where various cover bands play music. This is a great option if you want to enjoy an easy meal and listen to some local tunes. Every time we have come here we (especially the kids) had a great, safe time, and everyone is very polite. I also liked that there is a security/police presence for just in case. If you looking for that 'Farmer's Market' deal, I recommend checking out the one at downtown HB, or snoop around Yelp--- but if you are looking for a variety of options for a market, then give Fullerton Market a shot! Thanks. 47 read more

Such a fun evening! Great live music, a variety of food options, face painting, splash pad, bounce house, and Farmer's Market. Perfect summer Thursday evening! We will be back. read more

April through October! The season is here. The beer is a flowing. The free peanuts are a plenty. The band is a rockin and rollin. Fresh veggies and produce all around. Awesome deals on food and arts/crafts from local vendors. Thursdays from 4:00 to 8:30... I try to go at least 2-3 times a month. I cannot support or get enough of the Fullerton Farmer's Market. Speaking of supporting, all the proceeds from the beer garden go towards the Fullerton Museum and every year they design a beer garden commemorative mug. Yes I collect this mug just in case you were wondering. $4 beers and they always have good brew as the local bartenders choose the kegs for that week. (anywhere from great white to IPA's to Red Hook to Humboldt beers) Only the good stuff. Hit up the food vendors around 8 to 8:30 when it is closing time you can swindle for deals since they are packing up and getting out of there and want to make some sales. Bring your puppies. Super dog friendly (not in beer garden area anymore) but it helps make friends and everyone is social and nice. Plenty of things for the kids too! A train, the park, a petting zoo and when it is hot they have a dancing water fountain they can run around in their bathing suits. And if you are not sold on the beloved Fullerton Farmer's Market by now, just know that I got to pet a mother effin ZEBRA! Yeah I petted a freakin ZEBRA and it made me happy. You should just come down to pet the zebra for FREE. It is totally worth it. He has a Mohawk. read more

Fullerton Farmers Market is located near Harbor Blvd and Valencia Dr, and held on Thursdays. Nice to stroll, on a warm night. Small amount of vendors, and other then some mouth watering strawberries-nothing caught my eye. I did get my blood pressure checked by a very nice young man from the North Orange County Regional Health Foundation. He was so surprised that my blood pressure was good, along with my heart rate...he was like "wow-I've never seen anyone your age have such good readings". I didn't know if he just insulted me, or was truly amazed'! They have music, and people take lawn chairs to either partake in dancing or just people watching. Beer and Wine Garden is set up by the Fullerton Museum, but that will be furthered reviewed in the upcoming weeks. Overall, nice way to spend a Thursday night. read more

Good food, good people, great vendors, amazing live music, beer garden, kids' face painting + jump house + playground + splash pad. Just some of the many reasons why our family has been coming to the Fullerton Farmer's Market every Thursday night for years! read more

This is more of a 3.5 rating. The Downtown Fullerton Farmers Market is pleasant. The smell of Kettle Corn fills the air and you can hear summertime music (like the beach boys) from several blocks away. The vendors are enthusiastic and as we strolled down the walkway, we were enticed to sample everything! There are quite a few food vendors that vary from Hawaiian Shaved Ice to Mexican food to Pizza...all of which looked delicious. There's also a blocked off area to enjoy a drink while listening to the live music. The weather was so beautiful tonight, we decided to stay out a bit longer than I expected. The playground is full of children and there is a small train and bounce house for the kids to enjoy. I think this Farmers Market is perfect if you're local to Fullerton. It's extremely small and in my opinion, not a destination spot for a night out. I'd come back as it's walking distance from my home and a good place to relax after a long day but I wouldn't drive here if I was further than 5 min away. I wish there were more vendors and a better selection of fruits and vegetables, however, the vendor here tonight had a beautiful selection of nectarines! My son ended up picking 3 and he also bought me a beautiful cactus (such a sweetheart)! If you're in the Downtown Fullerton area, this market offers a nice and relaxing local spot for the family, a simple date night or a meet up with friends. read more

Fullerton Market - Farmers Market Near Me - Fullerton, California

Most people would argue that Fullerton is the liveliest farmer's market in all of North OC, but I don't know if I fully agree with that. Don't get me wrong, the market is very cool and I think it's an especially great place for families! After all, they have train rides for kids, plus an adjoining playground located right next to the market, so kids definitely won't be bored coming here! Also, there's a big area with tons of different food stands (Korean BBQ, Mexican food, pizza, fried oreos, etc.), where people can buy food and enjoy it, while listening to a band play live music. Beyond having a lot of food that you can buy and consume immediately on premise, this market mainly lacks the specialty food items that I personally typically like to buy when I go to farmer's markets. I'm talking about homemade jam, baked goods, spiced nuts, etc. Every time I've come here, I've only seen a handful of these stands, which really pales in comparison to other North OC farmer's markets I've been to (Yorba Linda, Orange, Brea, etc.). So, for someone who wants to come out to a market, enjoy the outdoors, and eat a meal under the night sky, Fullerton's market is great! But, for someone like me, who would much rather pick up a few specialty food items to take home and share with my loved ones, this market still leaves much to be desired :( read more

This is by far one of the best farmer markets I have ever been to in regards to variety of booths. From local vendors, local growers, live music, activities for kids, a beer and wine "garden"... I can't imagine any one leaves unhappy or unsatisfied. My daughter got her face painted for $1! They have a train ride, bounce house, caricature drawings and bead bracelet making. Nothing is more than $3. The deals in the kids area are enough to make me want to come back regularly. I picked up fresh beats, green beans, artichokes, purple carrots and berries. Everything was beyond crisp and delicious. read more

Fullerton Market - Farmers Market Near Me - Fullerton, California

I went here today to get the peaches I wasn't able to get yesterday. SCORE! one of the first booths I visited had ORGANIC peaches, nectarines, and Santa Rosa plums. My plum jam won a first-place ribbon at the OC fair in 1994, and my peach jam won a second-place ribbon in 1995; peaches and plums are only in season a few weeks, and they both need HOT sun to make their flavor pop. So on a good year like this year, if you do canning, or want to try canning, this is an excellent year for it. The fruit/vegetable/flower part of this farmer's market is very small, maybe 1/4 the size of the Wednesday certified market. This market, though, is a completely different vibe, and so you'll find completely different people and booths. It just depends on what you're looking for. I only gave this market 3 stars because it seems to be dwindling in size. there are maybe 1/3 the vendor booths there were 5 years ago, and tonight two of the vendors actually taunted me because I didn't try some dude's "Hot Sauce," so that sucked. But once past the gauntlet of bitter vendors (one of my taunters is that wanna-be gypsy chick who has sold her bad jewelry for at least 10 years I can remember), you are rewarded by one heavenly smell: Tri-Tip BBQ! If you want the smell of the OC fair without the crowd, go to the DTF Farmer's Market. The church sells barbecued tri-tip (3 or 4 good sized slices) on a po-boy roll for $5. I got two for my son, and he downed them both in minutes. Just past the tri-tip they have funnel cakes, hummus with pita chips, bratwurst on an open grill, sweet and savory crepes, a beer and wine garden (off the side of the museum), kettle corn, Mexican food (this booth had a line), and I'm not sure what else! Except for this: I am very, very sure about the "Strictly Vegan Jamaican Cuisine" REGGAE WRAP. Nom. As I stood waiting for my combo bowl and Reggae wrap, I saw at least ten people turn down free samples of the Reggae Wrap because it's vegan. That's all. They hear there's no meat, no animal protein, and they back away shaking their heads and wagging a finger, "Oh no, no meat? No no no." I PROMISE you, you will not miss the meat. But don't miss the opportunity to try well-prepared vegan food. I had a friend in NorCal cook vegan for me and my family for several months once. We were healthier, happier, more clear-minded than ever. And we forgot we were eating vegan. I'm serious as a fried pork chop. Now, If you ask for the Reggae Wrap ($7), tell her, "Just do it special, like you do. With love," and stand back. About 30 minutes to an hour after you eat vegan food prepared with reverence and love you will feel an overall body high. Try it. They also sell water and two juices. I got the passion fruit ($3) which was delicious. They also had one called "cucumber boost," which i bet is amazing. I'll find out next week. Oh, and if you like plantains, everything comes with a few pieces on the side and you can order side orders if you want more. These are plantains done right. There's a center fountain with a water feature that is a magnet for the kids and park benches and picnic tables for families and seniors enjoying the dusk breeze. Overall, there was a very nice, eclectic mix of people. To the side of the church, a band was setting up for later, probably around 7:00. The market is open until 8:00, and the setting is idyllic. Plus, if you don't find anything to take home or to whet your appetite there, Rutabegorz is always right around the corner. read more

This place is small, but very nice and family friendly. I usually enjoy myself, just walking around

In addition to things you would expect at a farmer's market, also expect to find music entertainment, food vendors, animal petting zoo, train rides, and water fountain park. If I have any complaints, I'd say the selection of fruits and vegetables is just ok. But because this is more a social event than a farmer's market, I don't think anyone minds. read more

What a great place to go to on a Thursday night. Lots of fruit vendors, my favorite was the peaches. They had so many samples to choose from and they were all delicious. They also had many food options to choose from and a live performaces when I went, not sure if that's every Thursday though, but I will find cause because I will def come back. Great place to take the fam and kids on a Thursday night. read more

Thursday night Farmer's Market with live music, food vendors, crafty wares and fresh produce. Totally fun local flavor! Families, veterans, college students, yuppies, such a great assortment of folks coming together. The live music this Thursday was a 60's group called Aquarius and what a psychedelic treat it was! So much fun with everyone singing along and enjoying the evening - it makes me remember how much I love people! read more

Wow. Wish I would have checked out this place more often before I left. Here's a list of things you may find from what I can recall: -Harvested Honey -Assortment of Seeded Fruits and Berries from roughly 3 vendors - Candles - Flowers - Hummus and Dips - Salsas - Baked Breads - Jewelry - Women's Casual Summer Dresses - Psychic Palm Reading - Kmitted Hats From the prepared food vendors, you have: - Fork Fries (bougie fries) - Agua Fresca w/ Tex Mex Food - Empanadas - Hot Dog/Sausage Place - Pizza Place - Roasted Nuts - Shaved Ice - Beer Garden Overall, the event is free to attend and they'll feature local music starting at 6:30. There's abundant free parking as well. I would advise bringing your own bags if you plan to shop, as well as cash if you're not looking to purchase a lot from any one vendor. If you're looking to support owners of their small businesses, come check them out! Better yet, come join the fun and just hang out if you have nothing else going on. You can then hop on over to DTF as the night progresses. read more

This is such an amazing community event that I would recommend for anyone in the Fullerton community or even surrounding communities. While most farmer's markets are during the day, this one takes place at night and has alcoholic beverages to complete the live music they have as well. It typically runs April-October, which is perfect. They will also have a winter market in December, which will be at a different time in a Saturday, instead of Thursday evening. The bands are always pretty good and the variety of food available is great for groups who all want to eat something different. It's also great for kids, as they have kid activities as well. There is always a jumping castle for kids to enjoy. Most of the time, the same vendors are present on Thursday evenings, but they're really good! It's a very cute weekly event to check out. If you ever get the chance to swing by, be sure to find the free public parking near this area. I read more

This Is my first time here and I'm loving it! Friendly and attentive vendors, lots of booths, pet friendly, family friendly, plus a beer garden! Nice way to break up the week!

This is my first time at this Farmers Market. Not huge, like the one I'm just to in Long Beach, but the quality is AMAZING! The produce is ridiculously fresh, the variety of items is impressive and every single one of the vendors were extremely nice! I got a fresh load of bread, a Rosemary, Garlic Sourdough for $5.00 from the Old Town Baking Company, then a TON of fresh fruits from Sunny Cal Farms, from Beedley California: black figs, nectarines and the mist fantastic white peaches I've had in years! I also bought fresh pomegranate juice from them. Finally I got the most incredible spreads and sauces from Sola Foods, and incredible Peach Habanero spread and an irresistible strawberry jam (that's the actual name!) all around, I'm going to stop-by this Farmers Market every Thursday! Great fun for the family too, with all sorts of food tents and a live band! Highly, highly recommend it!... read more

Randomly stopped by after eating Wahoo's down the street = bad idea. Vendors would offer endless supply of samples and my stomach could not hold any more. I did, however, leave enough room for hummus, dip, and kettle corn. I wish there would be more vendors though, it seems a bit small compared to other farmers markets. There is a vendor for fruits/produce, freshly baked bread, roasted corn, hot dogs and tacos. There was a good turnout that day, more crowded than I had thought. It's a good way to promote farmer's market and local farmers / bakers, etc. read more

Small little farmers market on Thursdays from 4:00-8:30 which will end on October 24. It's on Wilshire (between Harbor and Pomonoa) so right in the middle of downtown fullerton. Admission is free and parking is super easy to find. Especially considering its "downtown", thats a huge perk! One of the reasons why DTF (which stands for Down Town Fullerton for all you dirty minded people) can be so popular. The farmers market has your basic vendors like a hummus, dog treat, fruits/veggies, crepe, bbq, art, etc. Around that block there are several bars, restaurants, tea/snack places, and theres even a thrift store so people can enjoy it during the day or walk around drunk at night. Tons of street parking and parking lots near any location you want to go. The area is clean with cute historic buildings. So if you're planning on stopping by, you might as well explore a little too! read more

I'm probably one of the few reviewers that won't mention the beer garden but, I will agree that the friendly and quaint vibe associated with the Fullerton Market is one not to be missed! Lately, I've missed my Thursday eve strolls through the market but, I know it's the #1 place to go in the area for fresh produce (including the exotic and delicious Peruvian potatoes), hard-to-find vendors and lots of other yummy treats. I'm always sure to get a $2 snowcone! Also, writing this review just reminded me that I need to go back before the season is over to get a bamboo wind chime that I've had my eye on! read more

Thursday 5/26: my roommate got home and insisted on getting sunlight... -__- I was basking in my fluorescent lighting wearing my booty shorts and giving my eyes a straining workout, but agreed to going; so she dragged me out of the apartment and into this little farmer's market. Each time I go to a farmer's market I have the tendency to NOT buy anything. I just browse and stare at the people. This was the first FM that I've been to that had a beer garden in it, so that gave it a little more Oomph! Let me start off by saying that they did indeed have a wide selection of veggies, fruits, random Native American jewelry/crafts, and flowers. Everything looked genuinely fresh and appealing, except for the prices. There is no way in hell that I am going to buy ONE avocado for $0.74 cents, I can get 5 for $0.99 Cents at "La Bodega," and yeah there are pesticides in those but that just means that I'm not only buying avocados, but I'm also possibly maybe going to have a kid with birth defects, what a DEAL! Killing two birds with one stone! And that is why I usually don't buy things at farmer's markets. But if it is your thing, then you would fancy this place. There were also booths that were selling prepared food, reminded me a lot of the O.C. Fair, there were funnel cakes, crepes(Chicken Ceasar salad crepe was breathtaking), hot dogs, ribs, and HUMMUS!! (Hummus did seem like a great buy, you get 3 small tubs for $12) I am for sure getting some next Thursday. I can't say much about the beer garden because we didn't go into it, but there was a long line, and it looked like a good time. As for the people watching; let's just say if anyone ever asked me why I keep going to this place I'd reply with: "The wild women, the wild women, and the rippin n' the tearin'" Totally reminded me of Hedonism II, there was a live band covering classic rock songs from "The Doors" to "Rod Stewart" so you know those old ladies were reminiscing on their jock-strap eating days. Whole band area had sex written all over it, some taggers did a number on a wall, pretty cool mural...jk The place is also very kid/pet friendly (I categorize those together because they are the same devil). So grab your family, put them in your van, drive, do drunken cartwheels in the beer garden, and DRIVE back, if you get pulled over just show them your kids and they'll let you go free. Overall experience was great and entertaining, everyone is cheerful, and easy-going. I will start frequenting this more often because of it's vibe, and because it is 10 minutes away from me. =^) Oh yeah! Make sure to sample EVERYTHING they offer you, all the food is so fresh and tasty. read more
