Wimberley Market Days has been an institution in Wimberley since 1964, when the first market was held on the town Square. Local vendors set up for business on the tailgates of their trucks, buying and selling everything, including pigs, rugs and homemade tamales. Most items sold for $10 or less.
From that simple beginning the Market has grown to nearly 500 booths on RR 2325, owned and operated by the Wimberley Lions Club. The Lions donate 100% of their profits to charities, scholarships and local organizations, whose volunteers, in turn, provide the staff of 200 workers it takes to operate concessions and parking. It is a wonderful example of a community working together toward a common good. As of November of last year, this all volunteer organization has awarded more than $3,000,000 to non-profit groups.
Market Days is open 7:00 a.m. till 4:00 p.m. on the first Saturday of each month, March through December. With so many vendors, it’s difficult to see all there is to offer; many visitors return month after month. Market Day vendors have a tradition of quality, handcrafted items. This isn’t your typical flea market. Goods range from antiques and jewelry to fossils, plants, toys, furniture, food, quilts and art of all kinds.
