A New Way to Shop Local: Introducing the Food City Market
Something exciting is coming to Food City Ranchland!
Food City is teaming up with Markets EP 915 to launch the Food City Market, a lively outdoor pop-up market where the community can shop, explore, and support talented local vendors, artisans, and small businesses.
The first Food City Market will take place on Saturday, April 4 from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM in the parking lot of our Food City Ranchland location (7444 Gateway Blvd. East in El Paso). The event is FREE to attend!
Think of it as your new favorite Saturday morning stop, a place to discover unique handcrafted goods, try delicious bites from food trucks, enjoy music, and connect with the incredible makers who help make El Paso special!
Local Supporting Local
Organized in collaboration with Markets EP 915, the market will feature more than 25 vendors, along with food trucks, music, and family-friendly activities. From handcrafted goods and specialty treats to creative small business offerings, there will be something for everyone.
This event celebrates the powerful idea of “Local Supporting Local,” highlighting the entrepreneurs, makers, and artisans who bring creativity and passion to our community.
More Than a Market
In addition to shopping and entertainment, the El Paso Public Library Bookmobile will be onsite, offering a unique opportunity for families to engage with valuable community resources.
