Q:
Is the market Dog friendly?
A:
Yes. There are tons of dogs everywhere at the OB Farmer's market. I think there may be signs posted that say "no dogs" but beats me who posts those signs, because it is very dog friendly there.

There is so much food. All the vendors provide super huge portions and some people don't eat all their food. It's really simple to get free street food here. I dig in the trash receptacle to get all kinds of food...Its always a surprise to see what I find next. Thank u ob farmers market

FOOD VENDORS
I use to come to OB Farmers Market all the time when I worked at the "bayside" and "seaside" location. It was convenient to get to right after work to kill time from traffic before heading home. Then I stopped coming for many years because I transferred to a different location. I then long forgot about this farmers market and had the urge to come by.
Still the same. But much more food vendors. I like the vibe, very chill and although crowded not at all annoying except searching for parking.Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 2Oh no 1 - Mar 30, 20241 check-in
After work I met up with my gf and her sister in OB. We checked out the FM and this was a happy surprise. We checked out a few of the stalls. They were enamored with the intricately designed candles, while I was sampling food. I started with some pork belly. It was so delicious, but it only got my appetite going. I then went for some oysters. They were fresh and so delicious after coming off the grill. Lastly I had an Argentine Sausage Sandwich. It was flavorful and capped off an awesome night.

Pork Belly Bao from Little Asian Sliders $6 - (5/5) super juicy, soft bun, warm, filling
Posnachos from MyPozole $10 - (5/5) good portion, flavorful, enough of everything, nice presentation
Baja Dog from Doggos Gus $8 - (5/5) hot, flavorful, filling
Grilled Cheese - (5/5) so cheesy + cheese pull!
Poke Plate from Island Life Foods - (5/5) fresh fish and such flavorful macaroni salad
Farmers market are always such a fun experience. Most of them are on weekends but this one is every Wednesday. I highly recommend coming here to stroll around and look at different food and other items such as thrifted clothes or jewelry. You can bring cash just in case but I was able to use my card for all the food I bought. This is such a perfect farmers market location because you can just stroll down the same street and admire the Ocean Beach views or walk down the pier!
Parking will mainly consist of street parking and can get difficult finding a spot sometimes. If you're looking for a place to sit and eat, I recommend walking down to the beach and trying to find a wall spot because there will be no tables and chairs available unless you dine in one of the food spots.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 5692472180Jun 21, 2023
Went to Ocean Beach Farmers Market and had a blast. I would go out of my way to come here.
It's all good vibes here and amazing food. Do not skip out on the Elote and Lumpia. Got the Elote from Gina's Tropical Fruits and Lumpia from Gabina's Cuisine & Catering. My friends also got Crepes (can't rmmber name of place) and Lamb & Beef Gyro from Bosnian Grill & Mediterranean Cuisine, all delicious.
They are held every Wednesday by the beach. There are a couple blocks blocked off for this. Parking can be tough, you have to just find street parking around the homes. The area where I parked was free but some areas may be paid metered street parking. It gets really crowded so come early and give yourself time to find parking. Everyone is friendly. I love how lively it is. Prices are going to be more expensive but that's expected coming to a farmers market. Definitely a good idea to bring some cash, but a lot of places do take card.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Leila N.San Diego, CA062Apr 7, 2024
Never disappointed by the energy and vibrations of OB. For new San Diego visitors it is an absolute iconic place known for their hippie, shoeless, bohemian funky style, which is perfectly displayed at the farmers market. PLEASE TRY RHE MANGO LASSI from an indian samosas stand it changed my life

Crazy variety, classic Ocean Beach vibes and you get to support local vendors. Living in OB, I am so glad that we have one of the best farmer's market in San Diego. I know I'm a little bias but I think a lot of people think the same due to the popularity of this great Wednesday night tradition.
From desserts to dinner, local art, organic fruits, vegetables and more. My wife and I try to make this stop one of our date nights every month. The people serving the food have been great and we have yet to come across a grumpy vendor. I love that this market is open during the cooler months, along with our regular amazing SD weather.
Come out and enjoy the OB Farmer's Market!Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - 45209313Jul 5, 2023
Loved this farmers market! There are so many food vendors it's hard to decide what to choose for dinner! There were tons of samples and the highlight for me was the super soft pita bread with amazing hummus and other dips. They're located towards the end on the beach side and SO delicious. You could make a meal out of all of their samples. There were quite a few farmers as well and one stand had strawberries to sample that were so sweet and fresh. My daughter settled on a beef tamale which was so good. I saw a ton of people walking around with the African food so that's what I got. My plate was sweet jerk chicken, saffron rice and collard greens. I wasn't a huge fan of the sauce on the chicken, it was a little too sweet and tasted like bbq sauce, but I would definitely get food from this stand again. I can't wait to go back to this farmers market next time I'm in OB.

For a fast food stop its great but SO OVERCROWDED! Way too many dogs to step around or avoid. Not nearly enough produce but plenty of local clothing and handmade jewelry options. Very beachy vibe. Vintage hippie products.
