Market information

The Sweet Corn Market does not open till 8 a.m. Customers may come early to line up or shop at the other vendors.

Fountain Hills High School football players will be on hand weekly to help carry customers’ watermelons and any other heavy bags to their cars. Tips will go toward the Falcon Football Summer Training Camp.

Customers should bring their own bags to use throughout the market and if the Tractor Supply parking lot is full, use the parking lot across the street off Monterey Drive, where there are plenty of extra spaces.

There is one main entrance to the market and exit. Customers are encouraged to follow posted signage.

Vendors have different schedules over the summer, so be sure to ask vendors which week they will attend the market.
