Shopping and Dining
Wimberley has long been known as a shopping destination. With its quaint shops, boutiques and stores, there is something for everyone, and you can find just about anything you’re looking for. Many of Wimberley’s merchants offer hand-made, one-of-a-kind, unusual and quality items. There’s everything from local souvenirs, Texana articles and primitives to fine European crystal, porcelain, jewelry and collectables.
If antiques are what you’re looking for, Wimberley’s antique trade is returning with several dealers in and near town.
Wimberley is also a retreat for artists of all media. There are many galleries that have been rated among the best in the Hill Country, and the owners welcome browsers.
Market Day
No mention of shopping would be complete without listing Wimberley’s renowned Market Day, long a popular Wimberley destination.
Market Day takes place on the first Saturday and Sunday of each month, April through December, at Lions Field on Ranch Road 2325, about a half mile from the Square.
Market Day has been an institution in Wimberley since 1964, when the first market was held on the Town Square. Local vendors set up for business on the tailgates of their trucks. They brought and sold everything—including pigs, rugs and homemade tamales. Most items sold for $10 or less.
The second largest such gathering in Texas, Wimberley Market Day now boasts more than 460 diverse vendors’ booths offering antiques, collectibles, woodcrafts, custom clothing, jewelry, art, flowers and plants, handicrafts and foods.
Six concession stands serve breakfast items, barbecue plates, sandwiches, smoked turkey legs, snacks and a variety of beverages.
Proceeds from Market Day enable the Wimberley Lions Club to donate to many local, state, national, and international charitable groups and organizations.
