About PLFM
The Parks Legado Farmers Market first bloomed in 2017 with a clear vision: to create a vibrant hub where local farmers, bakers, artisans, and consumers in West Texas could connect directly. More than just a marketplace, it’s a dedicated effort to champion locally grown agriculture and unique specialty products, thereby strengthening our regional economy and proudly showcasing the incredible talent found right here in our community.
The market is deeply committed to enhancing the quality of life for everyone in Odessa and surrounding areas. It strives to provide a welcoming gathering place, a lively event where friends, families, and neighbors can enjoy delicious food, listen to great music, and forge meaningful connections. Each year, the market is thrilled to welcome over 200 diverse vendors, offering them a fantastic platform to exhibit their incredible goods and promote their businesses to our wonderful town. Come join in and experience the heart of local commerce and community spirit!

Local Tips
Come Early for the Best Selection:

- Arriving closer to 8:00 AM will give you the best chance to snag those must-have items!

Local musicians will be performing during the market. Plan to enjoy the entertainment while you snack on your goodies or take a break from walking.
