If you are looking for something to do on a Saturday morning that is central in town, visit the Temecula Certified Farmer's Market open from 8am to 12:30pm every Saturday in Old Town Temecula behind the Wine and Beer Garden near the Grey Hound Bus depot. With plentiful fresh fruit and produce from local farmers and artisans, the Farmer's Market has something for everyone. After you are done shopping at the Farmer's Market, you can continue down Old Town for a meal at one of the popular local hangouts or browse through one of several antique shops down Front Street. To further its convenience to local shoppers, the Temecula Farmer's Market also sets up every Wednesday at the Promenade Mall from 9am to 1pm in the West end of the parking lots.
