West Harbor's new Waterfront Farmers Market opened Tuesday, October 20, and runs every Tuesday from 3 to 8 p.m. on the promenade at Berth 77 Park. It has more than 35 vendors selling produce, seafood, eggs, flowers, sourdough, tamales, dumplings, French pastries, local honey and prepared food. After the opening-day celebration, the next market is Tuesday, October 27.
What makes the market matter is the clock. It's the first farmers market in San Pedro that's still open after a standard workday, and the only evening market nearby outside of North Redondo Beach's Wednesday afternoon market. It also gives a waterfront where several operators keep weekend-only hours a weekly event on a weekday.
The rest of the market week ends early or runs far away
Here's the farmers market week around San Pedro, based on the California Department of Food and Agriculture's certified market directory, current as of October 1, 2026, and the San Pedro Chamber of Commerce:
- Tuesday: Torrance Certified Farmers' Market, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., 2400 Jefferson St. at Crenshaw Boulevard. Now also West Harbor, 3 to 8 p.m.
- Wednesday: Kaiser Permanente market in Harbor City, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., 25825 S. Vermont Blvd. at PCH. North Redondo Beach Farmers Market, 2 to 7 p.m., 2000 Artesia Blvd. at Green Lane.
- Thursday: Redondo Beach, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., 309 Esplanade at Torrance Boulevard and George Freeth Way.
- Friday: San Pedro Certified Farmers Market, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., 396 W. 6th St. at 6th and Mesa.
- Saturday: Torrance again, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
- Sunday: Palos Verdes Farmers Market, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., 27118 Silver Spur Road in Rolling Hills Estates. Riviera Village in Redondo Beach also runs 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Before West Harbor, the closest weekday markets, in Harbor City and downtown San Pedro, both closed at 2 p.m. The one evening option on the list was in North Redondo Beach, up on Artesia Boulevard. If you work a daytime shift, a weekday market close to home meant taking a long lunch. The weekend markets mean an early drive to Torrance, Rolling Hills Estates or Riviera Village. West Harbor stays open until 8 p.m., six hours past the local markets' closing times, and it's on Harbor Boulevard.
What a Tuesday evening at Berth 77 actually includes
The market fills a weekday gap on the waterfront itself. West Harbor has been opening in phases, and several of its current operators keep weekend hours. West Harbor's own listings show what you'll find on a Tuesday between 3 and 8 p.m. and what you won't.
| On a Tuesday afternoon or evening | Hours posted by West Harbor |
|---|---|
| Waterfront Farmers Market at Berth 77 Park | Tuesdays, 3 to 8 p.m. |
| Starbucks | Daily, 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. |
| San Pedro Fish Market pop-up | "Popping up every day" |
| Harbor Concessions, with churros, Michelaguas and Italian ice | Grab-and-go, no hours posted |
| Waterfront promenade and Berth 77 Park | Site open daily, 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. |
| Wheel Fun Rentals surrey bikes | Closed. Saturdays, Sundays and holidays only |
| Harbor Breeze Cruises | Closed. Friday through Monday only |
On Tuesdays, the market joins the operators that already open every day, Starbucks and the Fish Market pop-up, along the same stretch of promenade. Starbucks closes at 8 p.m., the same time as the market, which gives the whole stretch a natural end point.
The San Pedro Fish Market is still running as a waterfront pop-up while its permanent space goes through planning and design. Random Lengths News reported in July that building it is expected to take about two years. Shopping the market and grabbing seafood from the pop-up fit into one walk along the same promenade.
Berth 77 Park also hosts Well Harbor, West Harbor's wellness series, with yoga, strength training, movement and mindfulness classes led by local partners. No weekly class schedule has been posted on the happenings page. If a Tuesday class ends up near market hours, the same patch of grass covers both.
The parking math favors a quick weeknight stop
Parking is what makes a weeknight errand work here. According to West Harbor's visit page, the West Harbor Lot at 1332 S. Harbor Blvd. is free for the first hour, then $2.50 an hour, with a $25 daily maximum. The Daily Breeze reported on October 13 that the main lot is now open.
An after-work stop for produce, bread and something for dinner fits inside that free first hour. A longer evening with a coffee and a walk to the end of the promenade adds $2.50 for each extra hour. The Berth 84 Premium Lot charges $2.50 an hour on weekdays, with no free hour. On a Tuesday, the West Harbor Lot is the cheaper choice for a short visit.
The Friday market downtown works for a different schedule
The new market doesn't replace the San Pedro Certified Farmers Market. The two serve different weeks. The Friday market sits in Public Parking Lot 735 at 6th and Mesa, among downtown's restaurants and shops, and the Chamber lists a session for Friday, October 16. The Chamber also promotes a Friday park-and-ride. You park in the public lot at 6th and Harbor Boulevard and take a trolley that loops continuously from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. to the market and downtown businesses.
Put the two together and you get a town with one market inland on Friday at midday and one on the water on Tuesday evening. According to the Daily Breeze, West Harbor sits just south of the Los Angeles Maritime Museum and the town square at Sixth Street and Harbor Boulevard, the same corner as the Friday park-and-ride lot. If your workdays shift, or you have one weekday free, you now have two times to pick from.
Why a weekday anchor matters for what's still coming
According to the Daily Breeze, West Harbor is a $500 million, 42-acre project on the land where Ports O'Call Village stood from the 1960s. The same article reports three newly signed tenants. None has an opening date yet:
- Wagbar, a membership dog park and social hub of more than 21,000 square feet, serving beer, wine, cider, coffee and non-alcoholic drinks, with plans for rescue and adoption partnerships.
- Tierra Azul Baja Coastal Grill & Bar, serving made-from-scratch Baja-style Mexican food with a tequila bar program.
- SnoSwell, a shop described as rooted in the San Pedro community, selling Hawaiian-style shave ice, soft serve, Dole Whip and chocolate-dipped bananas.
The next wave also includes a 175-foot SkyStar observation wheel and the 6,200-seat harbor-facing amphitheater at the south end, with no dates attached yet. In a statement reported by the Daily Breeze, Eric Johnson, senior project executive for West Harbor, said, "We want West Harbor to be a place people return to, whether for a meal, a workout, an event or simply an afternoon stroll along the harbor." A market that comes back every Tuesday is built around that kind of repeat visit.
The dated events between now and the new year mostly land on the calendar's busier days:
- Harbor Glow, a timed-ticket holiday light show in the amphitheater space, runs Friday, November 20, through Sunday, January 3. As of mid-October, the Harbor Glow site listed tickets as coming soon.
- Holidays by the Sea, presented with the Port of Los Angeles and Council District 15, comes back Saturday, December 5, from 5 to 7 p.m., with a tree lighting and visits with Santa. The Port lists the location as San Pedro Town Square. The Daily Breeze describes activities near Berth 84 Park and the Los Angeles Maritime Museum.
Harbor Glow overlaps six of the market's Tuesdays, from November 24 through December 29. Because the market runs until 8 p.m., a Tuesday visit from late November on ends after dark, with the waterfront in its holiday setup.
