If these walls could talk. 🍑
Long before the vendor tables and the string lights, this building had a different job. Built in 1910, the Fruit Exchange was the beating heart of Colfax's agricultural boom — the place where local apples, pears, and peaches were sorted, packed, and shipped out by rail. By the 1920s, Colfax was one of only 23 icing stops on the whole Pacific Fruit Express line, keeping those railcars cold all the way to market. For decades, this was where the harvest came together before it went out into the world.
Then the orchards gave way to bigger operations down in the Central Valley, and this old building went quiet.
Now it's loud again — just with a different kind of harvest. Instead of crates of fruit, it's vintage finds, handmade goods, and one-of-a-kind treasures, all under the same beams that once smelled like fresh peaches.
The Colfax Bazaar | Saturday, September 19 | 8am–3pm
30+ outdoor vendors, thousands of square feet inside, food trucks, and live music — all inside a building that's been bringing this town together for over a century.
Come see what over 100 years of history looks like on a Saturday morning. 🚂🛍️
