The Little Italy Mercato began officially in June 2008 with a handful of optimistic merchants who were part of the vision to create a destination-worthy farmers' market for their community and Greater San Diego. Since then, the Mercato has grown into a nationally-recognized model for its commitment to farm-fresh goods and sincere artisan craft. Today, local shoppers and visitors to Little Italy are able to discover and purchase Southern California's best seasonal offerings each weekend in the heart of San Diego's Little Italy. The Mercato runs from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday along Date Street.

In the past month, shoppers have noticed its expansion west of Kettner Street bringing the full event footprint to six blocks with more than 130 merchants, making it San Diego's largest and most visited farmers' market. Visitors to San Diego can celebrate the Mercato's anniversary by heading to its location, walkable from all areas of Little Italy as well as many other areas of downtown San Diego, during their stay. Every Saturday in June, there will be something extra added to the already vibrant lineup.
