RENO

South Lake Tahoe

Ski Run Boulevard closes to traffic on summer Fridays, 3 to 8 p.m., for South Lake Tahoe's evening market — a warm-weather-only event that runs June through September and shuts down once the snow crowd returns. SunSnow Event Company has run it since 2011 with a certified-organic produce requirement, plus more than 40 vendors selling prepared food, art, and live music layered on top.

South Lake Tahoe

Local growers set up in the American Legion Hall parking lot on Highway 50 every Tuesday, June through October, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. The El Dorado County Certified Farmers' Market Association has run this market for close to three decades, and it still draws the kind of crowds that make parking the hardest part of the trip. Vendors bring just-picked produce, cut flowers, honey, jam, and baked goods from Sierra foothill farms.

South Lake Tahoe

The El Dorado County Certified Farmers' Market Association, a nonprofit dedicated to the county's farmers, runs four weekly markets: Saturdays in Placerville, Sundays at the El Dorado Hills Community Center, Tuesdays in South Lake Tahoe, and Wednesdays in Cameron Park. Farmers sell just-picked local produce themselves, so shoppers can talk growing practices, get preparation tips, and hear what's coming into season next.

The Sands Farmers' Market is held at the Sands Regency Hotel & Casino, 345 N. Arlington Avenue in downtown Reno. Stalls of produce and local goods set up near the casino just north of the river district.

Sparks

Sparks

The Sparks Tuesday Morning Market runs at 1231 Pyramid Way in Sparks, near the Victorian Square district. Morning vendors sell seasonal produce and goods to shoppers in Reno's neighboring city.

Tahoe City

Tahoe City

The only farmers market on the actual shore of Lake Tahoe, held at Commons Beach every Thursday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., May through late October. Local growers share space with food trucks, pastured-meat vendors, and honey producers, and the market runs a free bike valet plus a shaded area for dogs — practical touches for a market that draws both lake-front locals and day-trippers off Highway 89.

Truckee

Tuesdays, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., mid-May through mid-October, in Truckee River Regional Park under the Sierra pines. Local produce, artisan crafts, and baked goods make up the vendor mix, with the market free to browse — a stop that fits easily around a Truckee River paddle or hike.
