The market fills Crane Park, a large city park on the southwest side of town with shaded individual and group picnic areas in a redwood grove, a big playground, and bocce, tennis and volleyball courts, with vineyards and mountains around it.
Good for: Families · Groups · Budget-friendly
Running since 1986 and celebrating its 40th season in 2026, St. Helena's Friday-morning market fills Crane Park with local growers, food makers and artisans. Because the park has shaded redwood-grove picnic areas and a big playground, it's one of the easiest places in the valley to shop and picnic in the same spot.
Stock up at a deli nearby, then picnic close by — a short, easy loop.
