Le Marche Marketplace Returns to Downtown Sarasota: Parisian-Style Outdoor Art Market at Five Points Park
Downtown Sarasota will once again take on a European flair when Le Marché Outdoor Marketplace, the popular Parisian-inspired outdoor marketplace, returns to Selby Five Points Park on Saturday, November 7, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
This marks the 18th bi-annual edition of the event, proudly sponsored by the Downtown Merchants Association, and it continues to be one of Sarasota’s most charming and artist-driven community gatherings. Le Marché is located at the iconic Five Points intersection at Main Street and Pineapple Avenue, in the heart of the city’s cultural and shopping district. Earlier editions have also brought Parisian-style shopping and art to downtown Sarasota.
A Free Parisian-Inspired Marketplace
Le Marché Marketplace is free and open to the public, making it an easy and inviting way for residents, visitors, and families to spend a relaxed Saturday downtown. The outdoor marketplace features a carefully curated selection of local artists and makers, offering original artwork, handcrafted goods, unique gifts, artisan products, and specialty treats you will not find in big-box stores.
Each booth is designed to feel intimate and personal, creating the experience of strolling through a small European street market—without leaving Sarasota. The marketplace has become a recurring favorite, with previous editions drawing shoppers to this Sarasota art and shopping event.
Meet Local Artists and Makers
Beyond shopping, the event celebrates community, creativity, and local talent. Guests are encouraged to meet the artists, learn about their creative processes, and support the thriving arts scene that helps define downtown Sarasota’s character.
The open-air setting allows visitors to enjoy the park’s natural beauty while browsing, socializing, and soaking in the festive atmosphere. Five Points Park also serves as a gathering place for other community celebrations, including the Be Fabulous Music & Arts Pride Fest.
