The Larimer County Farmers’ Market has served our community since 1975 when a group of backyard gardeners decided to share their excess produce with their community. Today, the market continues to be a vibrant
place in the community for growers and producers to connect with the community.
The market is a growers-only market, which means that all products offered must be grown, produced, or made by our local vendors. Vendors offer a wide variety of items including fruits, vegetables, coffee, flowers, baked goods, art, and crafts.
2025 Art in the Park, Loveland is celebrating it’s 58th annual festival. We are recognized as a leading show in the industry and a large part of the cutural fabric of the vibrant Loveland art scene. We participate every year in THE WEEKEND OF ART, along with the internationally acclaimed Sculpture in the Park. We invite you to apply to be one of the 250 exhibitors at the 2025 event, a world-class celebration of the visual arts. Our goal is to provide our exhibitors and our patrons with an experience of unparalleled quality and excellence. Highlights of this years show are The Gallery of FINE ARTISANS and The Market of FINE ARTS AND CRAFTS.

About: Open Streets
2025 marks the 10th year for Open Streets events in Fort Collins, where participants can expect 1-2 miles of car-free, family-friendly streets. Participants can move freely and safely throughout the route, while enjoying live music, food trucks, and fun activities along the way. Open Streets events aim to show participants that travelling by bike, foot, scooter, and other active, car-free transportation modes can be comfortable, easy, and a healthy alternative to driving. Each vendor booth is unique: they could include live music, local food trucks, health- and wellness-inspired activities, and participant-made art! The possibilities are endless at Open Streets.
Goals of Open Streets:
- Highlight walkable and bikeable routes by creating temporary, car-free streets for the community to walk, roll, and bike along.
- Encourage future active transportation among participants along Open Streets routes after the event concludes.
- Feature local businesses and organizations that support active transportation, health, wellness, and community well-being. Create opportunities to connect participants with these organizations.
- Foster social capital by connecting neighbors with one another during the event and beyond.
