About The Original Farmers Market

A specialty food market that is open seven days a week, the Original Farmers' Market has been open since 1934 and is a hub for local culinary delicacies; anyone looking for an introduction to gourmet food culture should make it a stop on their list.

This iconic space caters to food stalls operated by locals and is immensely popular among the tourists. The street market provides a window to the local cuisine while also being infused with more international flavors. Best known for its variety of American, Asian, and Latin American food, the Farmers' Market has more than 100 vendors selling groceries, ready to eat foods, and tourist souvenirs. It even has a Hip Hop bus ride to explore the wonders it has to offer. Now a historic landmark for the city, the Farmers' Market has been permanently marked onto the map of Los Angeles.
