Heirloom Farmers Markets | Rillito Park

Heirloom Farmers Markets is a nonprofit organization in southern Arizona that coordinates five markets; Rillito Park is its Sunday Tucson location. It moved to the park in 2014 and operates beside The Loop walking and cycling corridor, inside the Farmers Market pavilions. Its stated mission focuses on connecting and supporting local producers, along with food and agriculture education.

Rillito runs year-round but changes its hours with the season: 8 a.m. to noon from April through September and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. from October through March. The official address is 4502 North First Avenue, on the southeast side of the racetrack parking lot. The site is accessible and has restrooms. The organization says pets are not allowed at this market, a location-specific rule to consider before bringing an animal.

The vendor directory and Google reviews describe an offering beyond fruit and vegetables: meat, eggs, bread, prepared food, coffee, handmade goods, music, and family activities. The list varies each Sunday; arriving early can help shoppers find seasonal items. Heirloom publishes maps, information on SNAP, Double Up Food Bucks, and FMNP, as well as children’s activities. Reviews describe the market as a whole and do not guarantee inventory at a particular booth.
