Old Monterey Marketplace
Alvarado Street between Del Monte Avenue and Pearl Street
655-2607, www.oldmonterey.org
Every Tuesday at 4pm, rain or shine, Alvarado Street comes alive with the tastes, sounds and smells of Monterey’s favorite farmers market, a local institution since 1991. Super produce, pastries and street food sustain the body while local heroic musicians like Joe Lucido, Kenny Chung, Joe Hedlind and Razz feed the soul and keep the vibe alive. Local and itinerant arts and crafts vendors add to the always super fun experience.
