Every Sunday from 9:30 to 1:00 the city of Santa Monica holds a farmers' market on Main st. Since the January of 1995, this weekly event brings businesses and shoppers from all over LA. You can hear the band playing on the patio of the Victorian while browsing through the numerous stalls. They sell everything from fresh produce, homemade sweets and sauces, clothes to artisan cheeses. I've seen some rare veggies and tasted the sweetest fruits. One of my favorite stalls was Basiltops Pesto. Their pestos would make a fantastic pasta dish. 
Even after munching on the samples the vendors offer, you won't be able to resist the omelettes, crepes, quesadillas and roasted corn that are cooked fresh to order. Once you have your newly bought produce in one hand and steaming tamale in the other, enjoy the people, atmosphere, music and the outdoors on the grass and the kids can get their face painted and ride the ponies. 
go check it out on Sunday! http://www.smgov.net/farmers_market/sunday.htm
