The weekly Malibu Farmers Market is set to resume at its longtime venue beside the Malibu Library this Sunday, operating from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The move follows a brief relocation to the City Hall parking lot after the City of Malibu instructed the Cornucopia Foundation to cease activities at Legacy Park.
The market, a staple of the community’s weekend routine, had been shifted to the Malibu City Hall lot for a single week. City officials had ordered the change amid a dispute over the suitability of the Legacy Park site, prompting the Cornucopia Foundation, which runs the market, to seek an interim location. The temporary setting allowed vendors and shoppers to continue gathering while a permanent solution was explored.
The Los Angeles County lot adjacent to the Malibu Library, the market’s traditional spot, will once again host the array of local growers, artisans, and food producers. The Cornucopia Foundation, in partnership with the City of Malibu and Los Angeles County, coordinated the return, ensuring that the space meets the requirements for a safe and accessible public market.
Patrons can expect the familiar assortment of fresh produce, baked goods, and handcrafted items that have defined the market’s reputation. The relocation episode underscores the collaborative effort among the foundation, municipal authorities, and the county to maintain a venue that supports local agriculture and community interaction.
With the market back at its established location, residents and visitors are invited to enjoy the Sunday schedule, contributing to the vibrancy of Malibu’s downtown area and supporting the region’s small businesses.
