The Rail Yards Market of Albuquerque operates on Sundays from 10am-2pm during the months of May-October. We are a community organized market celebrating all things local and at the heart of New Mexican culture.
We are so much more than your typical Farmer’s or Grower’s Market — every Sunday you can peruse hundredss of New Mexico’s finest food, farm, artisan, and healing vendors, hear live musicians, and come away enriched from our education/demonstration zones for kids and adults! All this under one roof at the historic Blacksmith Shop at the heart of our City!
