The Castle Rock Sunday Market in Castle Rock, Washington is a seasonal community market held in the heart of town from May through October on Sundays from spring through early fall.

Visitors can expect a relaxed, small-town market atmosphere with a mix of fresh food, handcrafted items, clothing, antiques, crystals, décor, and artisan products. It’s the kind of place where you can browse a few booths, grab something to eat, and run into neighbors or visitors enjoying a slow Sunday afternoon.

The market typically runs from about 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Sundays, making it an easy weekend stop for both locals and travelers passing through southwest Washington. It’s also part of a broader tradition of community events in Castle Rock, adding to the town’s reputation for friendly, local-focused gatherings and seasonal outdoor activities.

Overall, it’s less of a large commercial farmers market and more of a community-style Sunday pop-up—casual, walkable, and focused on local makers and small businesses.
