About the Market
2026 marks the 29th anniversary of the Minturn market, hosted by the Town of Minturn. The original Eagle County market, and the local’s favorite, Minturn Market is a true family-friendly artisan market showcasing a variety of local products – food trucks, fresh produce, baked goods, art & pottery, clothing & jewelry, pet products and much more! You’ll enjoy live music, live art demonstrations, whisky and wine tastings, and a Kids Zone featuring a climbing wall, bounce house and face painting. The Minturn market takes place Saturdays, June 20th through September 12th (EXCEPT FOR JULY 4TH) from 9am – 2pm rain or shine, in historic downtown Minturn. There will NOT be a market on Saturday, July 4th.
The Market is dog-friendly, but please keep your furry friends leashed.
The Market is proud to be a Zero Waste event, with help from Walking Mountains Sustainability.
