Chula Vista Farmers Markets
As the weather begins to cool down (eventually!), remember to support our wonderful farmers’ markets around town. First up, the Otay Ranch Town Center Farmers Market on Tuesdays at 4 PM. This foodie’s paradise looks even more magical with the early sunsets and glowing vendor lights. Next, check out the Fiesta Street Market at the Chula Vista Golf Course, which kicks off at 3 PM and goes until about 7 PM. While it’s smaller, it’s still a great spot to browse local vendors and grab a bite. Finally, the big one is the Chula Vista Farmers Market every Sunday from 10 AM to 2 PM, rain or shine! I’ll be out there supporting local vendors – maybe I’ll see you there!

If you’ve got little ones, this is the perfect month for you! The Chula Vista Recreation Department hosts Halloween activities monthly at different community centers. The Spooky Studio Art Event at Salt Creek Community Center kicks things off on October 11th from 3 PM to 5:30 PM.
