Craft Fairs & Farmers Markets in Rancho Cucamonga, California

The Chaffey College Farmers Market on the campus quad runs on the first and third Thursdays of the month from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM, with 2026 dates on January 22, February 5 and 19, March 5, April 2 and 16, and May 7. The market pairs fresh produce with nutritional education, so the setting is campus-oriented and the crowd is largely students and staff on a midday break. The three-hour window is short and the twice-monthly cadence means fewer dates than a weekly market.

Rancho Cucamonga's longest running and original farmers market, operated by Heritage Farmers Market. Roughly 65+ vendors offering fresh produce, culinary goods and artisan wares. EBT/SNAP accepted. Relocated from Terra Vista Town Center to the RC Sports Center; older listings and aggregators still carry the Terra Vista address and name. Vendor applications are handled through the operator's Manage My Market portal, which covers all Heritage markets on one application.

Evening artisan market series run by Heritage Farmers Market in the Quakes Stadium lot, three dates each fall from 5pm-9pm. Curated local makers, specialty foods, food trucks, live entertainment, a cocktail garden and children's activities. Distinct from Heritage's weekly certified farmers markets; same operator and same application portal.

Free community arts festival presented by the Rancho Cucamonga Community and Arts Foundation in partnership with the City of Rancho Cucamonga. More than 35 local arts organizations take part as artist vendors, exhibitors, performance groups, info booths and arts class providers, with a full outdoor performance stage across the day. Note: You must contact this organizer directly to apply—no application link or vendor information is available online.

Lunar New Year festival produced by California Culture Festival at the RC Sports Center, one of four Inland Empire lunar and lantern festivals the operator runs each January and February. Retail, craft and food vendors sign up through the operator's shared vendor portal. Note: You must contact this organizer directly to apply—no application link or vendor information is available online.

A weekly farmers and artisan market held on the closed section of South Main Street at Victoria Gardens, run by AV & Company (Antoinette Valdespino). It is not affiliated with the Heritage circuit operating elsewhere in Rancho Cucamonga — worth confirming which market you're applying to, since the names can be confused. The field pairs produce from local family farms with curated craft, vintage, apparel, body-care, and packaged-food vendors, plus boutique trucks and entertainment. The vendor mix leans toward small businesses, modern makers, hand-crafters, designers, vintage collectors, and artisan imports. It replaced the operator's earlier Friday evening Crafters Market on Monet Ave. Note: Applications are handled by email; there is no online application or vendor info available.
