Heads up for any family who defaults to the Sunday stroll down to the Cupertino Certified Farmers Market at De Anza College — it’s listed as “Temporarily CLOSED” on operator West Coast Farmers Markets’ site, with no reopening date. The good news: this weekend (May 1–3, 2026) has five solid replacements within a 25-minute drive of De Anza Blvd, plus a brand-new civic night market tied to the Super Bowl LX lead-up.
1. Celebrate Santa Clara Night Market
– When: Friday May 1, 4–9 PM and Saturday May 2, 2–9 PM- Where: 900–1000 Lafayette Street, Santa Clara (~15 min from Cupertino)- Cost: Free, all ages, leashed dogs welcome
110+ makers, food trucks, a beer garden, and live entertainment — co-produced by Moveable Feast (who call it “the perfect event for the whole family”) and San José Made. The Saturday 2–5 PM window is the parent-friendly slot before evening crowds peak.
2. Sunnyvale Saturday Farmers’ Market
– When: Saturday May 2, 9 AM – 1 PM- Where: Murphy Avenue at Washington, Downtown Sunnyvale (5–7 min from De Anza Blvd)- Cost: Free; EBT/WIC accepted with up to $10 Market Match on produce
