Every Sunday, the nonprofit Mar Vista Farmers' Market hosts local California farmers while turning the intersection of Venice and Grand View into a block party. A rotating cast of local disc jockeys provides the entertainment as everybody shops, roams and eats. The market also hosts six festivals throughout the year.

In addition to offering a wide selection of fresh, locally grown produce and flowers, Mar Vista Farmers' Market has foods of various local ethnic restaurants available. Vendors also include local artists and craftspeople. Kids can participate in a free crafts workshop. Dog walkers and sitters are available.
