For over 10 years, El Dorado Hills Town Center has brought together local farmers, chefs, and makers for a family-friendly event that shines a light on our community and encourages residents to shop local and support small businesses.
Now, it’s better than ever. Recently relocated to Town Center’s Steven Young Amphitheater, the market has a fresh new energy—thanks to a partnership with the El Dorado Hills Arts & Entertainment Foundation, a nonprofit that supports local culture and the arts, and its 2025 main sponsor, Marshall Medical. Set among the beautiful landscape of Town Center, with its fountains and rose gardens as a backdrop, the market has an open-air charm that sets the stage for a perfect Sunday morning.
“We wanted this to be a truly family-friendly affair—a place where you can bring your kids, pets, and friends,” says Nina Watkins, marketing director for Town Center. “We’ve added live music, face painting, and a petting zoo, all alongside the same great vendors and local flavor that always make our farmers markets so special.”
With a newly renovated stage area, there’s plenty of room to stroll from booth to booth, soaking in the sights, sounds, and smells. Picnic tables and benches are scattered throughout the area, making it easy (and inviting!) to sit down, relax, and enjoy something delicious while soaking in the atmosphere.
Vendors range from certified local farmers offering fresh fruits and vegetables to artists and makers selling one-of-a-kind handmade goods. Pick up a unique piece from EDH-based jewelry designer Michelle Hobbs, owner of Remy and Me; grab a gorgeous bouquet from the Garden Valley Flower Farm; or treat yourself to an irresistible sweet from renowned local baker Jas, a.k.a. The Cookie Boss. Just to name a few. Be sure to stop by the El Dorado Hills Arts Association booth to browse beautiful, ever-changing works from local artists. Also, swing by the information booth as they often feature themed giveaways, special items, and helpful updates about upcoming events.
Make it a Sunday tradition—shop local, soak up the atmosphere, and celebrate community at the heart of El Dorado Hills.
The Town Center market is open from 9 am to 1 pm every Sunday at the amphitheater and rose garden.
