This farmers market at Munds Ranch & Community Gardens in Munds Park features fresh produce from small local farms, along with honey, jams, pickles, salsa, breads, and other baked goods. Local bakers, makers, and creators offer foods to enjoy on the spot, take home for later, or freeze for another day. Every vendor is a small business owner from the area, and live music adds a lively backdrop. The market runs rain or shine, and parking is plentiful.

Each month, the CAL Ranch parking lot becomes a lively hub for growers, bakers, homesteaders, herbalists, artists, makers, and local families. It is the kind of market where you might arrive for a loaf of sourdough and end up heading home with tomato starts, artisan soap, farm eggs, and a new connection to your community. Explore plants, seeds, and herbs, and find eggs alongside homestead animals. Gardeners can stock up on compost, composting worms, and soil amendments. Treat yourself to fresh sourdough, jams, jellies, other baked favorites, and local honey. Discover handmade crafts, fiber arts, jewelry, and books, then browse teas, tinctures, salves, and other apothecary goods. Look for custom shirts, tumblers, and jackets, and tap into helpful community resources. Food trucks and fresh lemonade add to the experience. Children can enjoy face painting, glitter tattoos, balloon animals, and a free arts and crafts table. Arrive hungry and take time to wander, meet the people behind the goods, and support local creators making real things. This open air market is set in the CAL Ranch parking lot and is not hosted by CAL Ranch.

Verde Canyon Railroad offers a Saturday evening rail outing on select dates that begins in the late afternoon and glides from daylight to dusk and into moonlit night. The four hour trip starts in sunshine, with Arizona canyon walls and wide skies shifting in color as the sun lowers. As twilight settles, there is a chance to notice wildlife moving and calling in its natural habitat. Night reveals crisp desert views of constellations beyond city glow, and the scenery may shine in silver under a bright moon or sparkle under a canopy of stars, depending on the lunar phase. Rock formations can seem to take on the shapes of animals or angelic figures beneath this celestial light. It is a romantic, scenic journey through Verde Canyon from day to night.

This event offers an upbeat mix of dancing, dinner, drinks, and music in a lively setting.
