Yuba City and the surrounding Yuba Sutter area have several farmers markets and vendor events happening throughout the year.
Some focus on produce and certified farmers, while others bring together food vendors, crafters, small businesses, and handmade goods.
This guide covers Yuba City markets and nearby vendor events wether you’re looking for vendor events to sell at or just want to find something fun to do this guide is for you.
1. Downtown Yuba City Thursday Night Market
The Downtown Yuba City Night Market occurs every other Thursday and runs from March all the way to December. It takes over Center St with vendors, food, shopping, live music, and activities.
Unlike a traditional farmers market that focuses mainly on agriculture, this event accepts a much wider mix of sellers. That makes it a good option for food vendors, bakers, clothing businesses, crafters, artists, retail vendors, and other small businesses.
For vendors who do not qualify for a certified farmers market, the Downtown Night Market is one of the more flexible Yuba City markets to consider. However you still need to have all the necessary vendor permits & licenses for Sutter County.
Booth fees start at $35 for a single 10 x 10.
2. Yuba City Certified Farmers Market
The Yuba City Certified Farmers Market is one of the area's longest-running farmers markets. It runs from May all the way through September and it occurs every Saturday from 8 a.m to noon.
This market is a better fit for shoppers who want fresh produce, fruit, vegetables, and farm products directly from growers.
For farmers, it provides a regular Saturday selling location during the main growing season.
Because this is a certified farmers market, agricultural vendors may have additional certification and permit requirements compared with a regular vendor event. Sutter County also notes that food sellers at certified farmers markets and special events may need a separate Environmental Health permit.
3. Plumas Lake Farmers Market
The Plumas Lake Farmers Market is a newer market that was just released launched.
It gives Plumas Lake residents a Sunday market without having to make the trip into Yuba City, Marysville, or Sacramento.
The market has already attracted local shoppers looking for flowers, food, produce, and goods from small sellers.
For vendors, a newer market can be worth testing because there may be fewer established sellers in each category.
If you sell baked goods, produce, flowers, handmade products, or other market-friendly items, keep an eye on the Plumas Lake schedule and vendor application periods.
4. 40 Mile Road Market
The 40 Mile Road Market is another seasonal vendor event to watch during the warmer months.
Compared with the larger Yuba City markets, smaller seasonal events can give vendors another selling date without committing to a weekly market for most of the year.
These types of markets can work well for crafters, food businesses, produce sellers, boutiques, and vendors who already attend other events around Yuba City and Marysville.
I could not find a current public 2026 schedule for the 40 Mile Road Market, so confirm the latest dates and vendor information with the organizer before making plans.
5. Sutter's Farmers Market
Sutter's Farmers Market is another great market that gives vendors another evening selling option.
For 2026, the market runs on the first Thursday of each month from March through September from 5 to 8 p.m.
Vendors line California Street selling crafts, candles, jewelry, fresh flowers, produce, natural health products, and other goods. The event also includes games, entertainment, and a featured nonprofit organization.
This event is worth considering for sellers who want something closer to a street market than a produce-only farmers market.
It can also pair well with Saturday or Sunday markets for vendors trying to add another selling day during the week.
6. Tractor Supply Farmers Market
Tractor Supply hosts farmers market-style events where farmers, makers, bakers, and artisans can sell directly to shoppers.
The company held its 2026 Farmers Market event on September and allowed participating sellers to register without a booth fee.
Yuba City's Tractor Supply location has also been used for local farmers market activity. Local market listings have shown Sunday markets from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. during the summer and fall at the Tractor Supply parking lot.
Because the schedule can depend on the season and individual events, vendors should watch for new registration announcements rather than assuming it runs every week.
For smaller sellers who want to test an in-person market without paying a large booth fee, Tractor Supply events can be worth watching.
Which Yuba City Market Should Vendors Apply To?
It depends, if you want consistency apply to either the Thursday Night Market, Yuba City Farmers Market, or The Plumas Lake Farmers Market.
Farmers and produce growers should start with the Yuba City Certified Farmers Market and other certified markets in the Yuba-Sutter region.
Food vendors, crafters, boutiques, artists, and retail businesses may have more options at the Downtown Yuba City Night Market, Sutter's Farmers Market, and seasonal vendor events.
Vendors can also attend more than one market. A business might sell at the Yuba City Farmers Market Saturday morning, attend Plumas Lake on Sunday, and add an evening market during the week.
Before applying, check the booth fee, vendor rules, required permits, dates, hours, and whether your product category still has space.
Conclusion
Yuba City markets range from traditional certified farmers markets to night markets and seasonal vendor events.
Visitors can spend a Saturday morning shopping for produce or head downtown in the evening for food, shopping, and live music.
Vendors have several options as well. The Downtown Night Market accepts a wider range of businesses, while certified farmers markets are better suited to growers and agricultural sellers.
Schedules, booth fees, and vendor openings can change throughout the year, so check with each organizer before applying or attending.
