The Chula Vista Farmers Market is celebrating three years of bringing fresh food, local goods, and neighborhood connection to downtown residents after returning in 2022 from a five-year absence.
Held every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., rain or shine, on Park Way between Third and Fourth avenues, the market now features more than 70 vendors selling everything from produce and flowers to pet treats, handmade items, and prepared foods.
“Downtown Chula Vista seemed to be a really up-and-coming neighborhood,” said Catt Fields White, founder and CEO of San Diego Markets and the manager of the Chula Vista Farmers Market. “The residents there seemed to be looking for both community gathering points and fresh food and I just felt like it was time for Chula Vista to have a weekly market again.”
White, who previously launched San Diego County’s largest farmers market in Little Italy, oversees vendor approval with a focus on balance and variety. She said only about 15 vendor spaces remain before the market fills the block up to Fourth Avenue.
