Envisioned to create access to local artisans and encourage a sense of community, the Aspen Saturday Market is more of an open farmers' bazaar and crafts fair. You can drop by on any Saturday from the 16th of June to the 27th of October to experience the warm harvest glow that Aspen exudes at this time of the year.
The first priority of the market being variety, the range of merchandise that the market offers is vast. You can stock up on your fall vegetables, shop around for organic soaps and flowers and even buy yourself ceramic plates, mugs and serving dishes that the local potters display. And while you're here, you can even flatter yourself, or a loved one, with the exquisite earrings and rings that Cathleen Crenshaw has to offer or pick up a couple of exquisite iron flowers that blacksmith Stephen Bershenyi molds. Everything you find at this market is either Colorado grown, made produced or manufactured. There's plenty the market has to offer in terms of food as well as the Jack Rabbit Hill Winery, Could Nine Brownies and Haystack Goat Diary are favorites. Special attention is paid to the quality of wares on display and CCLC meticulously reviews all the commodities even before they are presented at the market. The live music and chef demonstrations make shopping here a complete experience that is unique to the Aspen Saturday Market.
Everything you see here is either Colorado grown, made, produced or manufactured.
