When is the best time to visit? I took my family there yesterday and it looked like most of the vendors had left. This was after 5pm.

Mid afternoon

They open early, I was there noon time, everyone starting packing up about 5

Mid afternoon, but only about half the market is indoors and air conditioned. Take water with you.

I believe the day vendors are gone by 5. They have night vendors that come in from 6:30pm- 10:30 pm. The day vendors sell tourist things. Where the night vendors sell handmade and more unique things.

Before lunch time

We went Monday around lunch. It was fairly crowded but not horrible. All of the vendors were there then.

I would go around lunch time.

Weekend mornings are going to be the most crowded BUT most if not all vendors will be there

Between 11 a.m and 3 p.m.

We visited mid-morning just after they opened. Parking was easy and we shopped until our 1pm lunch reservation at Magnolia's was ready.
