The Crestone Marketplace
by Scot Swordy

The Crestone market will run every Saturday throughout the summer months, beginning when the weather warms up and running until it gets cold again. The market will be open from around 9am-3pm and is beautifully set in the orchard next to the Shambala Café, located right in the middle of downtown Crestone.

We hope our quaint market will serve as a model for diverse localized trade, including locally grown organic produce, arts and crafts, collective yard sales, and an array of local presentations and performances. By providing a diverse economic outlet, we hope to further develop our efforts toward a fully sustainable community.

We welcome visitors and passing vendors to come, relax and enjoy our market day. It’s a day to hang out and be social, to lounge under the shade of the apple trees, refresh your world, slow your pace and settle into Crestone time. For more information call Rachel or Miten at the Shambala Café at 719.256.4959.
