Looking for a fun weekend outing that’s low-key, outdoorsy, and full of good vibes? The Playa Vista Farmers Market has become a local favorite for families — and it’s easy to see why. With fresh produce, tasty treats, live music, and kid-friendly activities, it’s the perfect way to spend a Saturday morning together.
🥕 Something for Everyone
Whether you're on the hunt for organic veggies, freshly baked bread, or small-batch jams, the Playa Vista Farmers Market has it all. Local farmers and artisans bring their best, and it's a great way to teach kids about where their food comes from — way cooler than a grocery store run!
Pro tip: Let your kids pick out one fruit or veggie to try at home — it’s a fun way to get them involved and maybe even try something new (hello, purple carrots!).
🎶 Family-Friendly Atmosphere
This market isn’t just about food — it’s about community. Expect live music that sets a fun, relaxed vibe while you stroll through the stalls. There’s often a mix of acoustic sets and upbeat tunes that kids love to dance to.
You’ll also spot other families, babies in strollers, toddlers running around, and even a few friendly dogs. The energy is super welcoming and laid-back.
🍪 Treats & Eats That Kids (and Adults) Love
From fresh-squeezed juices and artisan popsicles to baked goods and gourmet snacks, there’s no shortage of treats to keep little ones happy. Grab a pastry and a coffee, then sit in the nearby park or grassy areas for an impromptu picnic.
👨👩👧👦 Bonus: It’s Right by Parks and Play Areas
The Playa Vista Central Park is just steps away, so after you shop, you can let the kids burn off energy at the playground or have a family picnic under the palm trees. It’s a win-win for everyone.
🛍️ Details
📍 Location: Runway Playa Vista (along Millennium Drive)
📅 When: Saturdays, 9am – 2pm
💵 Tip: Bring cash or cards — most vendors accept both, but it’s good to have options.
Final Thoughts
The Playa Vista Farmers Market isn’t just about shopping — it’s about creating memories. Whether it’s a toddler’s first taste of fresh honey, dancing to live music, or enjoying a sunny morning together, it’s a local gem that families keep coming back to.
Next Saturday, skip the usual routine and make a little adventure out of it. Your taste buds — and your kids — will thank you.
