Ybor City Saturday Market

Went on Labor Day weekend. Not sure if it's usually this small but the few vendors that were there were decent. Lots of free samples offered, good prices and friendly people. Ended up getting things from Brown Bag Coffee and Darlene's Desserts.

I love a good local market as much as anyone and this definitely had some cool things, (heck we even bought some of them!) but whether this is more of a seasonal market or maybe people are still recovering / rebuilding after the hurricanes, the end result is that there were only a couple dozen vendors selling on this day and none of it was the sort of thing that would make me want to come back.

This was an average sized Farmers Market on a Saturday morning. We were lucky enough to find parking close by and paid $7 for several hours. There are some interesting and unique vendors with clothing, jewelry, and local spices or foods, but prices seemed a little high to me for some of the items.I enjoyed visiting the small museum near Centennial Park where an employee there recommended the Columbia restaurant to us. Ybor City has a rich and diverse cultural background, and it's worth the walk around during the day to visit the historic sites. However, I don't think I would feel comfortable here at night.The Latin vibe music and chickens running around made this a fun experience.I DO NOT recommend using the bathrooms at Centennial Park. They were in very poor shape, and sadly, it looked like someone was sleeping in one of the stalls. Use the restroom behind the museum instead (near the fountain) or go to a restaurant on 7th Street.

The best leisurely start to your weekend! Grab a coffee at Foundation or Blind Tiger, say hello to the wild chickens, and stroll the booths of reasonably priced arts and food vendors. If it's your first visit, stop early at the lady who sells handmade string bags, so you have something to carry your loot in.You can get every sort of jewelry and accessory, shell art, empanadas, macarons, original paintings, T-shirts, soaps, locally made foods, and a smattering of vintage items. If you're looking for stocking stuffers or host gifts, it's one-stop shopping.

I enjoy this market. We have been a few times over the years. I love the variety of vendors. We went a few weeks ago. The last time we had been there before that was the end of 2019, so it was nice to visit a staple event in the community that we hadn't been to in a long time. The market is a fun way to shop local, and see familiar faces. It's fun to get to know the local vendors and hear their business experiences. It's cool to see vendors that are still around year after year, especially in an economy taking a lot of hits right now.When we were there recently we got some empanadas that were really good. Caramel waffle cookies, other vendor's cookies, banana bread and super good bacon beef jerky. The chickens are a sweet addition to the whole Saturday market experience. The town is fun to explore and parking is close by and cheap. I look forward to returning again and again to this market!

This place is such a cute Saturday market! The vendors are so kind, and there are a wide range of homemade goods being sold. Paintings, soaps, candles, jewelry, clothing, macarons, empanadas, fresh produce. And of course, lots of chickens running around which adds to the charm.

It is vey small farmer market. It has some art and craft, food, service, clothing and specialty. It located at Centennial Park of Ybor City. It is at the corner of 9th Avenue and 19th St. Parking is easy along the street side. They have parking lot with the fees apply. In the park they are some shaded area with roof cover. This area have a lot vendors and pleasant to walk. Across the street is Ybor City Museum State Park which make this Saturday Market a one stop visit. Among the vendors I like the vendor who sell the indoor plants. This indoor plant has multi color and easy to take care. Just a few spray and close the glass enclosure, the steam form on the glass and create natural indoor steam room. There are some clothing, buttons vendors. It was very interesting. Some vendor sell gluten free cake. Not many vendor but have something to offer for everyone.

I've been going here since October 2020. It's getting bigger and bigger each week. It's nice to see the activity. Fresh market items, Tad leather items are well made and I love everything from there, shirts, pottery, jewelry, vegan, coffee, plants, dog items and ol'fashion button-on hand towels and aprons. Support local!

This market is okay, but I don't think it's one of the area's best. If you go one time, you probably will see many of the same exact vendors the next time you go.There is always a fresh produce stand at one end with reasonable prices, a fresh honey seller, multiple vendors selling homemade soaps, candles, and lotions, a cigar seller, a basket seller, a fresh bread small loaf guy, many jewelry vendors, a knit and crochet vendor, a few miscellaneous shops, and then a few food trucks.During the holidays the amount of vendors pick up, and I have bought some cool macramé plant hangers and pottery to give as gifts. There is plenty of street parking, and a pay lot nearby to park in, as well.

After 6 months on pandemic initiated hiatus, I am so glad that the Ybor Saturday market is back open! I really miss this Market. I would come just about every weekend to pick up fresh produce and see what unique one-of-a-kind items are being sold by local vendors, craftsman, and artists. I was here two weeks ago when it opened and I came again today. I most recently bought a beautiful painting by Cuban artist Madelin Perez NOA. She is in the market with her spouse every weekend and has some beautiful paintings and art work made from repurposed items. I also got an opportunity to buy some of my favorite things that I've been missing since the market has been closed including my favorite 8 oz eucalyptus sugar scrub ($12) from Body Silk by Robin and 8oz, raw orange blossom honey ($8) from a local bee keeper. I'm also happy to get fresh produce again from Tungett Produce and Citrus. Today I bought some cute little shorts from Aquiser, two cute masks (Rug Rats and Qudditch) from Katee's Bowtique for $5 each and some other odds and ends like my produce. The vendors are slowly but surely returning to the market. It's not as full as it used to be but it's getting there. Glad to have you back!
