Others offer delightful selections of pastas, jams, chocolate sauces, smoked salmon, olive oils, vinegars, maple syrup, soaps, dog treats, Colorado wines, jerky, spices, wild Alaskan seafood, and more. Selections change weekly. Linger in the artist & artisan section for mementos of Vail or visit some of the many fine shops and galleries nearby.
Food vendors will tickle your palate with crepes, schnitzel sandwiches, salads, cheesesteaks, bbq, turkey legs, brats, gyros, burgers, hot dogs, roasted nuts, lemonade, coffee drinks and the list goes on. Live entertainment features Jazz @ the Market and guest appearances by popular regional groups. Local non-profits provide information and raffle tickets for interesting prizes.
