The Gilbert Farmers Market: Your Guide to the East Valley's Best Weekend Market

The Gilbert Farmers Market: Your Guide to the East Valley's Best Weekend Market


By CITIEA

The Gilbert Farmers Market runs every Saturday on the Chandler-Gilbert Community College campus and brings more than 150 vendors together year-round. You will find local produce, eggs, meat, cheese, bread, coffee, and artisan goods in one stop. The market changed locations in October 2025, so older directions no longer apply. We know the East Valley well, and this guide covers where to find the market, when to arrive, and what to look for.

Key Takeaways

  • The Gilbert Farmers Market is at 2626 E. Pecos Rd. in Chandler, on the Chandler-Gilbert Community College campus.
  • It runs Saturdays, 8 AM to 12 PM from October through April and 7 AM to 11 AM from May through September.
  • More than 150 vendors sell produce, eggs, meat, cheese, baked goods, coffee, and more.
  • Pets are not allowed on campus.

Where and When the Market Runs

The Gilbert Farmers Market is held on the Chandler-Gilbert Community College campus at 2626 E. Pecos Rd., Chandler, AZ 85225. The market sets up at the northwest corner of Gilbert Road and Pecos Road.

It opens every Saturday except December 26, 2026. Hours shift with the seasons, with earlier starts through the warm summer months. The campus setting gives the market a fixed home on Pecos Road, and the year-round schedule means there is no off-season to plan around.

Because the market runs year-round, you can visit in any season. The cooler months from October through April also give you a longer four-hour window to browse, so a relaxed visit fits easily into a Saturday morning.

Plan Your Visit

  • October through April: Saturdays, 8 AM to 12 PM
  • May through September: Saturdays, 7 AM to 11 AM
  • Closed Saturday, December 26, 2026
  • Pets are not allowed on campus

What Changed in 2025

The market was previously held at the Downtown Gilbert Park and Ride. On October 4, 2025, it moved to the college campus because the Downtown Gilbert Park and Ride was scheduled for demolition as part of the town's Heritage District improvements, and the market needed more room and parking.

If you have visited the market before, update your directions. The Gilbert Farmers Market name stayed the same, but the address is now in Chandler.

What the Move Means for You

  • A new address at 2626 E. Pecos Rd. on the college campus
  • The same Saturday schedule and the same market name
  • More than 150 vendors year-round
  • A college campus setting at the corner of Gilbert Road and Pecos Road

What You Can Buy at the Market

The vendor mix covers a full weekly shopping list. Local, chemical-free produce sits alongside farm-fresh eggs, meat, cheese, and fresh bread. You can also pick up sweets, coffee, tea, sauces, seasonings, and other artisan goods.

With more than 150 vendors, a lap through the stalls before you buy gives you a clear picture of what each one offers. Starting with produce while the selection is fullest, then moving on to bread, coffee, and sweets, keeps a Saturday trip simple.

Good Things to Look For

  • Seasonal produce from local growers
  • Farm-fresh eggs, meat, and cheese
  • Fresh bread and sweets
  • Coffee, tea, sauces, and seasonings

Making the Market Part of Your Week

A weekly market gives a community a regular gathering spot. An early Saturday trip for produce, a coffee, and a walk through the stalls is an easy way to start the weekend before the day heats up.

Gilbert and Chandler are neighboring East Valley communities, and spending a few Saturday mornings at the market is a low-pressure way to get a feel for the area. You can pair a visit with a drive through nearby neighborhoods to see which streets and home styles you like.

Tips for a Smooth Morning at the Market

  • Arrive early in summer, when hours run 7 AM to 11 AM
  • Bring reusable bags for produce, bread, and eggs
  • Leave pets at home, since they are not allowed on campus
  • Check the market's website before you go for any schedule changes, since it lists the current schedule and updates
