City Market offers fresh produce, herbs, plants, grass feed meats, crafts, and baked goods from local vendors every Saturday from 7:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. - April-October and every Saturday in November from 8:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. There is space for 111 vendors in the 2010 season[1].
The market is currently located in a city parking lot on Water street near the downtown mall, but organizers have discussed moving the market to other locations if the lot becomes redeveloped.

The other market in Charlottesville is Growers in the Park which takes place on Wednesdays from May to August in Meade Park. On May 4, the city will begin operating another farmers' market at Pen Park from 3:00 pm to 7:00 pm every Tuesday.
