NOT YOUR AVERAGE FARMERS MARKET! THE OUTER SUNSET FARMERS MARKET IN SAN FRANCISCO GOES BEYOND HOSTING FARMERS AND FOOD VENDORS. COME CELEBRATE DIWALI AND A NEW BIODIVERSITY PARK!

Sunset Mercantile’s Outer Sunset Farmers Market and Mercantile is a weekly event celebrating farmers, local vendors and artisans, in San Francisco’s Outer Sunset district. Founded on the principles of community, culture, and commerce, the market offers a diverse selection of fresh produce, artisanal goods, and cultural experiences. With a focus on supporting small businesses and fostering community connections, the market has become a beloved destination for residents and visitors alike.

With more than 60 vendors, you can find seasonal and fresh produce from local farmers, baked goods and other prepared foods to take home, and ready to eat options from various food trucks representing the diverse cuisines of the Bay Area. With a mixture of resident vendors and some rotating, the visit will always be exciting! You will also find non-food vendors and artists to satisfy those looking for some retail therapy. The Outer Sunset Farmers Market and Mercantile is more than just a place to eat and shop – it’s a cultural destination.

The market is proud to announce that they are teaming up with community partners to host its second annual Diwali event on Nov 10. This event will include special entertainment such as a Kathak dance performance, activities such as rangoli workshop and henna, and delicious Diwali treats to celebrate the Festival of Lights with the community.

The market also plays a role in environmental stewardship. Sunset Mercantile recently partnered with Climate Action NOW and is now home to a brand new Biodiversity Park on Sunset Boulevard. This park serves as a space for habitat restoration and provides volunteer and educational opportunities to help cultivate this urban area.
