Fall Artisan Market at Russell Park

The north metro's September market calendar is thin above 70th Avenue, which is why a city-run Saturday market in Historic Westminster is worth the short drive instead of the trip to a central Denver market. Westminster puts this one at Russell Park Honoring Firefighters, the park at 7290 Bradburn Boulevard, on Saturday, September 12.

The city lists it as a fall harvest market with makers, food and open park space, running five hours from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It is a park market, not a fairground production, so the footprint is small and the walk from one end of the booths to the other takes minutes rather than an afternoon.

People + Produce Farmers Market: Thornton

Jun 11 - Sep 24 · Carpenter Park

The City of Westminster calendar posts no admission charge, and Russell Park has its own free lot plus street parking along Bradburn Boulevard. Bring cash as a backup. Small city-park markets are the ones most likely to have a maker whose card reader cannot find signal.
