All vendors are expected to set up rain or shine, however, some won’t be able to if it’s raining and their product could be damaged by inclement weather. Farmers will set up in the rain, as their products aren’t weather sensitive.

We’re both! Our spring, summer and fall market begins on Saturday April 14 through December 12.

The winter market has between 17-20 vendors each week and is located on 28th Street South by The Collective Salon, OvenBird Restaurant and Billy Reid.

NOTE: Pups are NOT ALLOWED in the Indoor Market space.
