Minturn Market: A Hub for Local Artisans
Every Saturday from late June through early September, the historic downtown transforms into the Minturn Market, a family-friendly artisan market. Here, visitors can explore a variety of local products, including fresh produce, baked goods, art, pottery, clothing, jewelry, and pet products. The market also features live music, art demonstrations, whisky and wine tastings, and a Kids Zone with activities like a climbing wall, bounce house, and face painting. 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.
