Feria Verde de Aranjuez

Top choice in San José


For a foodie-friendly cultural experience, don't miss this fabulous Saturday market, a meeting place for San José's artists and organic growers since 2010. You'll find organic coffee, artisanal chocolate, tropical-fruit ice blocks, produce, leather, jewelry and more at the long rows of booths set up in the park at the north end of Barrio Aranjuez.

Feria Verde is also held in Barrio Colón on Tuesdays from 1pm to 7pm.
