OB Farmers Market: Every Wednesday on Newport Ave

What you'll find

The OB Farmers Market is a California Certified Farmers Market run by the Ocean Beach MainStreet Association. More than 100 vendors set up along Newport Avenue every week, selling:

• Local fruit, vegetables, flowers and plants
• Fresh bread, desserts, honey, kombucha and juice
• Hot food to eat as you walk
• Art, crafts and handmade goods

It feels as much like a weekly street party as a market, with buskers and families out and the sun setting at the end of the street.

Tips from locals

• Go early for produce, late for the vibe. The best fruit and bread sell out first; the crowd and music build toward sunset.
• Leave the dog at home. The organizers ask you not to bring pets: it's crowded and the pavement gets hot. Take them to Dog Beach afterward instead.
• Bring a bag and some cash for smaller vendors.
• Make a night of it. Walk two blocks to Veterans Plaza for the Wednesday drum circle and fire dancing at sunset, then watch the sun go down by the pier.

Parking and getting there

Newport Avenue is closed to cars during the market, and nearby street parking fills up. Try the free beach lots at the end of Newport or the larger free lot at Robb Field (2525 Bacon St), a 15-minute walk. Three temporary ADA parking spaces are set aside on the 1800 block of Bacon Street (between Newport and Niagara) on Wednesdays from 2:30 to 9 PM. More options are on our parking guide.
