This monthly “Things To Do” (Part 1) special is sponsored by Visit Sonora. Fall into some fun this month! October brings free family fun, cultural festivals, and spooky activities to the Valley! ABC15’s Nicole Gutierrez brings you an insider’s look at what these events will bring to our communities.

PHOENIX — Fall brings the fun outside as the opportunities to shop local increase at farmers markets throughout our Valley!

We broke down a list of this season’s farmers markets open throughout the Valley that bring some of the best local bakers, artisans, and entrepreneurs who create unique crafts and gifts to take home.
