How to get to the Farmers Market in Loveland 

700 S. Railroad Avenue in Loveland
Pavilions #1 and #2 at the far north end of Fairgrounds Park

Careful! Google maps could lead you astray.

The address is 700 S. Railroad Ave. Railroad Ave. also is called S. Roosevelt Ave. north of the Big Thompson River when in Google maps. Fairgrounds Park is located south of First St. and west of Highway 287. The park is west of Barnes Park and the Barnes Softball Complex and Batting Cages.

Although well-behaved domesticated pets are welcome in our parks, we generally discourage bringing them to our special events and the farmers market. The market gets crowded. There are typically strollers, wheelchairs, and some folks who may have a fear of animals. Service animals, however, are always welcome.

Applications on Manage My Market will be open on February 1.

All new vendors will be required to attend a meeting on Tuesday, May 6^th at 5:00PM at Fairgrounds Park.

We strongly encourage returning vendors to attend and get caught up on what is happening.

The City of Loveland Farmers Market operates Sundays from 9:00A - 1:00P June 7 – Sept 27, 2020.

• Food trucks will be required to pay a $40 flat-rate for each appearance at the farmers market.
• There is limited electricity at the park; please let Kerry know if you need electricity or plan to use a generator.
• We ask that food trucks do not arrive prior to 8:30A in order to give vendors a chance to unload and move vehicles from the curb.
• No-show fee of $50 will be fined per each occasion; this must be paid prior to returning to the market. 

Selection Criteria

• A maximum of three food trucks will be allowed at any time, with the exception of the Honey Festival on September 13
• Once approved through the city, please email Kerry Helke at kerry.helke@cityofloveland.org with preferred dates.
• Trucks will be assigned dates based on availability at time of submission and variety of foods being offered (i.e., we'll try to avoid having menus that are similar).

*Food trucks with completed permits will be eligible to participate in any City-organized event. Event coordinators will set prices and event-specific rules in accordance with their guidelines. Completed permit does not guarantee a space at any City event.
