Why Buy Local


Welcome to the 2010 Market Season

Saturdays, 8 am to Noon, May 1 to Oct. 30 on Main Street in Downtown Greenville

Downtown Greenville’s fresh open-air market returns with over 50 vendors, providing the finest in-season produce, gourmet foods and fresh-cut flowers to Main Street each week. Bring the entire family for a fun-filled morning or just meet a friend for breakfast and a fresh cup of gourmet coffee. You’ll enjoy shopping in a festive outdoor setting and having the opportunity to shop directly from local harvesters. Join us this Saturday, and experience the country without leaving the city.
