Produced by Food Access LA, the Crenshaw Farmers’ Market serves diverse neighborhoods, including Angeles Mesa, Hyde Park, Leimert Park, View Park/Windsor Hills, and Baldwin Hills.

Every Saturday, the Market features a dozen local farmers and over two dozen food and artisan vendors who bring a diverse selection of local produce, spices, sprouts, breads, nuts, baked goods, and fresh flowers each week. The market also hosts monthly events, including cooking demonstrations, tastings, and children’s activities.

You can use your CalFresh EBT card and WIC checks at the Crenshaw Farmers Market. Additionally, we offer Market Match, which doubles CalFresh by up to $10 per day. Stop by the information booth to receive extra dollars to spend at the market!

The Crenshaw Farmers Market is open every Saturday from 10 am-3 pm, rain or shine, and is located in the AFIBA Center (Fire Station 54) parking lot at 5730 Crenshaw Boulevard, off of Crenshaw and Slauson, adjacent to U.S. Bank.

Join Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson; Mayor Karen Bass; the Los Angeles City Council; and the Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA) to officially celebrate the exhibition installation of the work of Los Angeles photographer, Leroy Hamilton in DCA’s Henry P. Rios Gallery at Los Angeles City Hall on display from Friday, January 31, 2025 to February 26, 2025.

The Story of Us displays Black Angelenos in several dimensions of their lives—at home with family, in the conference room, on the court, in government halls of power, on the mainstage, in the streets, and in places of worship. It captures the fullness of Black life. Mr. Hamilton seeks to restore the humanity behind Black faces that are often misrepresented. Visitors will experience the full spectrum of Black personhood through the lens of a local artist with strategic connections and expansive vision.

The Story of Us is Leroy Hamilton’s exhibit which he hopes will reverberate across the country. By capturing a collection of photos of Black Angelenos, the artist hopes to draw parallels between movement building in Black Los Angeles to national Black movements. Mr. Hamilton hopes to remind visitors that there is a community photographer in every community, and we must recommit ourselves to seeking them out and uplifting their work. The photography exhibit is an ode to Black Los Angeles and all we represent in the past, present, and future–from Crenshaw to the coast, this is The Story of Us.

The exhibition is curated and coordinated by Larry Earl.
