The 21st Annual Charleston Farmers Market will operate every Saturday from 8:00 AM until 2:00 PM, from April 11 until December 20, 2009. A special Holiday Magic Market in Historic Charleston will operate during the month of December.
The Charleston Farmers Market is available each Saturday morning in the
beautiful Marion Square, between King and Meeting Streets at the edge
of Calhoun Street. The park at Marion Square has long been the center
of festive activities, and is the perfect tranquil setting for the
Farmers Market. Nestled beneath beautiful trees with plenty of room for
families to gather and children to play, the Farmers Market comes to
life each Saturday morning and offers an abundance of the freshest
local produce, plants, herbs and cut flowers. While strolling the
Charleston Farmers Market, a delicious breakfast, brunch or lunches are
available while listening to a variety of live entertainment.
The Farmers Market also offers an amazing assortment of juried arts and
crafts, providing the best selection and most talented local artisans.
The celebrated Charleston Farmers Market is produced by the City of
Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs and is dedicated to the support
and advocacy of Lowcountry Farmers and Growers.
