Denver, CO — With just two weeks until the longest day of the year, summer plants and produce are in full swing of growth. Colorado’s wet spring has provided local farms with delicious pickings and now they are coming to our cities for purchase! KOSI has broken down some of our favorite farmers markets, complete with parking tips, addresses and photos!
City Park – Located next to East High School, just off Colfax Ave at 2551 E Colfax Ave, Denver, CO 80206 You can park along the several side streets or test your luck and get a spot in Carla Madison Recreation Center.

Union Station – Although this may be the least accessible as far as parking goes, you can’t go wrong with parking the car and exploring the city. While you are, make your way over to Union Station and check out the Farmer’s market. With a preset music lineup, this weekend you can expect live music from Christopher Ryan and Mark Brut.
