Alemany opened in 1943 and is the oldest farmers market in California. Ferry Plaza is the famous one and also the most expensive. Eight markets, ranked, and every write-up leads with the day it runs, because that is the only detail that actually decides whether you can go.
If you are cooking, go to Alemany or Heart of the City. If you are eating breakfast and looking at the bay, Ferry Plaza on a Saturday.
