Wimberley Market Days

f you’re reading this, chances are pretty darn good that you’re already in wondrous Wimberley (or, at least planning a trip soon) and possibly wondering what all there is to do. Well, for most folks, their initial reasons for coming here generally relate to the river, resorts, relaxation, revelry, restaurants and, of course, even a bit of retailing (i.e., shopping). And, regarding unique and special Wimberley-centric activities, it’s that last entry on the list where this story is going … big time! Yep, if you’re in the “market” for an exciting blast, not to mention the acquisition of a few, choice bargains then, just keep reading. So, come the first Saturday of each month from March through December, this blissful bucolic burg becomes the beloved epicenter to “any and all” seeking “all and any” by regularly staging its renown Wimberley Market Days, which by definition is nothing less than the Texas Hill Country’s largest outdoor “market for almost everything.”Wow! Featuring hundreds of diversely-inventoried (and eager to sell) vendors ably supported by ample amounts of savory edible’s and audibles, spread all across an accommodating and comfortable, well-shaded and pavilioned 19-acre park only a short drive from the town’s iconic square and, well, you get the picture (which, in many artistic forms, will be available at a Wimberley Market Day too)!
