Discover the charm of local farmers and talented artisans all in one delightful spot! The Smoky Mountain Farmers & Artisan Market may be small at first glance, but take a moment to wander and you’ll find a thoughtfully curated treasure trove of seasonal delights. From fresh produce and farm-fresh eggs to golden local honey, there’s something for every taste. Explore handcrafted artisan goods including hand-painted art, candles, décor, jewelry, and more — all lovingly made by local creators. Held at Aquarium Park, the market is cozy and welcoming, with picnic tables for a relaxing break, 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. Come enjoy a friendly, small-town market experience and support the incredible local makers and farmers of our community!
