Old Colorado City
The Old Colorado City Farmers Market has been a regional staple for 40 years. Since 1985, local growers and artisans have sold their high-quality goodies, from fresh seasonal produce and specialty food products to Colorado-made handcrafted items. With full-time vendors, there is something for everyone.
In December 2025, they introduced a new local holiday tradition: The Old Colorado City Chriskindlmarket. Its German influence and charm brought a new magic to Old Colorado City with its Christmas Village. Look for its return in December 2026.
