Miner Street Market

Mountain Town Market

Miner Street Market is an open-air street market in the heart of Idaho Springs. With picturesque views of the Rocky Mountains, events and plenty of local businesses to keep you busy, Miner Street is ready to host visitors and locals alike.

Historic Miner Town

The Colorado gold rush began in Idaho Springs in the mid-nineteenth century. Following the rush, the iconic Argo Mill and Tunnel  began operation and continued to drain mines and process ore for decades. You’ll be able to get a feel for the historic presence of the mining industry that built Idaho Springs on Miner Street. It will be adorned with genuine mining carts and lanterns.

Stay Busy – What to Do at the Miner Street Market

Regardless of the day you come, the Miner Street Market will keep you busy with fun activities for the whole family! Check out some of the events happening this summer:

• Petting Zoo (once a month)

In addition, the open carry of alcohol will be permitted on Miner Street on the third Saturday of every month during ‘A Taste of Idaho Springs.’ Restaurants will prepare their own small plate and beverage, with 10% of each sale going to a local non-profit. The first beneficiary of that 10% of sales will be Carlson Elementary School, to help finish their playground project. Not only will you be supporting local Idaho Springs events and businesses, but you’ll be supporting charity.
