Discover the charm of local farmers and talented artisans all in one delightful spot! At first glance, the Smoky Mountain Farmers and Artisan Market may seem small, but take a moment to wander through and you'll see it’s a thoughtfully curated treasure trove. From fresh, seasonal produce and sweet honey to farm-fresh eggs and irresistible artisan pastries, there’s something delicious for every taste. You’ll also find unique hand-painted art, beautiful candles, décor, jewelry, and one-of-a-kind clothing — all made with love and care by local creators. Held at Aquarium Park, this cozy market features picnic tables perfect for relaxing, and it’s pet-friendly (just be sure your furry friend is well-behaved and on a leash!). Open rain or shine (check social media for updates), the market runs every Friday from May through October, 9AM - 2PM. It’s a shopping experience you simply can’t miss!
