PARKING LOT CLOSED EVERY WEDNESDAY (LOWER LOT B)

Every Wednesday from 3:00 pm - 7:00 pm, CSUSM hosts the San Marcos Farmer's Market, sponsored by Event and Conference Services, in Parking Lot B.  At the market, you'll find fresh, locally grown, healthful produce including fruit, vegetables, eggs, and honey. You will enjoy demonstrations, music, artisanal breads and prepared foods, tastings, and more. The market is certified by the state meaning that the produce is being sold by the grower, is grown in California, and meets all California quality standards.  Stop by to check it out.

Please note:  In support of this community event the west half of Parking Lot B (lower lot B) will be closed every Wednesday for the Farmer's Market.  As an alternative, we recommend parking in Lot s X, Y or Z which can be accessed from Twin Oaks Valley Road.
