If you’re looking for a vibrant community hub filled with fresh, local flavors and unique finds, the Heirloom Farmers Market at Rillito Race Track is the place to be. Located in the Southeast corner of Rillito Park along the bike trail known as The Loop, this year-round market is Tucson’s largest and a must-visit destination for food lovers and families alike.

Since moving to Rillito Park in 2014, the market has flourished, thanks to a collaboration between Heirloom Farmers Markets, Pima County, and the Rillito Park Foundation.

Every Sunday, the market features an impressive lineup of local farmers, ranchers, and artisan food vendors. From fresh produce to handcrafted goods, you’ll find something for everyone.

Adding even more flavor to this incredible market is Malta Joe and his Pastizzi Express. Every Sunday, Malta Joe sets up shop with his award-winning full menu of America’s Original Maltese Pastizzi. These golden, flaky pastries are filled with a variety of savory and sweet flavors, offering something for everyone.
• New Pizza Pastizzi: Be sure to try Joe’s latest creation, the Pizza Pastizzi, a delicious addition to his lineup.
