Did you know Loveland’s market has grown into one of the 

top markets in Colorado. 


We love the variety at the market! Each week, more than 50 vendors participate with several varieties of produce, microgreens, baked goods, lavender, honey, salsa, fresh flowers and more. 

We also love that there is live music, food trucks and a monthly Artist Market the last Sunday of each month and Beer Gardens. 

Something special to know, This year the Market is expanding the add-on events to have several special activities each month. 




We love the special events they hold every year!

July 30: Christmas in July Artist Market will allow you to get a jump start on holiday shopping while supporting local artisans and finding unique and small-batch items. 

Aug. 13: Kids Daze will be even bigger this year as we partner with Children’s Entrepreneur Market to include several kids-run business vendors. This day will also include a few of our favorites from Watermelon Daze including the watermelon eating contest and Loveland Aleworks will be serving a themed drink that day. This is one of the fun events we will have a booth at and we help sponsor it too!
