Downtown Martinez Summer Kickoff: Free Outdoor Festival + Market (2026)

Saturday, June 6, 2026 - 10:00 am to 3:00 pm | Cost: FREE
Downtown Martinez | 700 Main St, Martinez, CA

Event Details

Meet Me On Main is Downtown Martinez’s kickoff to summer — one sunny Saturday filled with shopping, live music, local food, and community in the heart of downtown.

Featuring 100+ vendor booths, this annual outdoor market brings together vintage curators, antique collectors, thrift finds, handmade goods, artists, makers, local small businesses, specialty foods, and pop-up experiences including yoga, craft stations and more…all along Main Street and the Plaza.

Spend the day exploring Downtown Martinez while enjoying live acoustic performances, yoga on the plaza, craft stations, family activities, local restaurants, bars, and cafés. Whether you’re hunting for a unique vintage piece, shopping handmade, grabbing lunch with friends, or simply spending the day downtown, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Formerly known as the Makers Market, Meet Me On Main was reimagined to better reflect the character of Downtown Martinez — creative, welcoming, independent, and community-driven. While the name has evolved, the heart of the event remains the same: bringing people together to support local businesses, artists, and makers in a fun outdoor setting.

This event is free to attend, family-friendly, and pet-friendly.

Come shop small, explore Main Street, and discover something special at Meet Me On Main.
