Market Policies

Market Policies

Our Home is our favorite Place.

The Pepper Place Entertainment District has been our location on Saturday mornings since 2000.

Early each Saturday morning we set up before the market opens at 7:00 am. When the market closes at 12:00 pm, our tents and tables disappear until next weekend.

While we are open to the public and held outdoors, our Market is privatelyowned.

The market has a street closure permit for 29th Street South from the City of Birmingham as well as a permit from Sloss Real Estate for their privately owned parking lot on 2nd Avenue South.
 
*Construction update: We have a street closure for 2nd Avenue South between 28th and 29th Streets. A temporary market layout change is due to the city’s resurfacing plan of roads nearby. You can read more about the city’s resurfacing plan by clicking here
 

Thank you for following our market policies and helping us keep Pepper Place the best Place to be. We can’t wait to see y’all soon.

It’s worth noting that our market is on asphalt with no shade.

No smoking and no vaping while on market grounds between the hours of 7:00 am to 12:00 pm.
All pets must be kept on a short leash. Bring what you need to pick up after your pet. Our market Info Tent is available every Saturday in the “big parking lot”.


If your pet has an accident and you do not have what you need to clean up, notify us right away. If your pet is showing signs of distress and overheating during summer months, please visit us at the Info Tent. We have plenty of water, fans, and access to inside space to help your pet in emergency situations.
No sales before 7:00 am. All sales must be made no later than 12:00 pm.

No loitering, no soliciting, and no panhandling is allowed. No exceptions. We have legally obtained a street closure for the grounds occupied during market hours.

Please drive slowly while in the area. Watch for shoppers crossing 2nd Avenue South and use caution. Everyone’s safety matters.

Thank you for being patient and kind with each other. We’re outdoors in Alabama – it gets hot, y’all! Let’s remember we’re here to celebrate community and enjoy our Saturday morning together. No cursing or fighting will be tolerated.
