Stalls at celebrity-favorite farmers market moved to parking lot
The Malibu Farmers Market has spent the past three years among the coastal prairies and bluffs of Legacy Park before being told to move.
TL;DR
- Malibu Farmers Market vendors and shoppers are upset about being moved from Legacy Park to a concrete parking lot at City Hall.
- The relocation is due to expired permission to use Legacy Park and a deed restriction prohibiting commercial activity.
- Vendors reported low turnout, with dozens failing to appear due to the hidden location and short notice.
- The city claims the move provides a temporary, safe, and code-compliant location while a permanent solution is sought.
- Shoppers expressed confusion and disappointment, with some noting a lack of signage directing them to the new location.
- The market previously operated at the Los Angeles County Malibu Library lot before moving to Legacy Park due to construction.
