  • Yes — we’re a rain‑or‑shine market.

    That said, safety always comes first. In the event of severe weather (lightning, extreme heat, unsafe conditions), we may pause or close parts of the market. Updates will be shared onsite and on our social channels.

  • Very much so! Families are at the heart of what we do.

    We offer:

    • A welcoming environment for all ages

    • Food, treats, and space to roam

    Strollers, wagons, and happy chaos are welcome.

  • The Kids Play Zone is a supervised play area designed to give kids a magical experience while parents shop and explore.

    ✨ Not all kids activities are paid!
    In addition to the supervised Kids Play Zone, we also offer free games, activities, and fun surprises for kiddos throughout the market. There’s plenty of joy to be had whether you’re participating in the play zone or just popping by to enjoy the day.

    📌 The Kids Play Zone itself has separate rules, pricing, and guidelines, which are posted at the entrance and available online. Please review those before checking in so everyone has a smooth, happy experience.

  • Well‑behaved, leashed dogs are welcome — with a few important boundaries to keep everyone comfortable and safe.

    To protect our vendors, products, and play areas:

    • Dogs are not allowed in or near vendor booths.

    • Dogs must stay out of the main vendor shopping areas.

    The good news?
    Our market is hosted on a large open field, with plenty of space for dogs and people to spread out, stroll, and enjoy the day without crowding booths or walkways.

    (Service animals are always welcome.)

    You’ll find:

    • Boutique retail

    • Vintage & antiques

    • Art, handmade goods & home décor

    • Plants & farm goods

    • Food trucks & treats

  • Yes! We love seeing memories being made.

    Feel free to take photos for personal use and tag us on social media. Please be respectful of vendors, kids, and other guests — and ask permission before photographing children who aren’t yours.

  • We offer two convenient parking areas, both directly touching the market property.

    ♿ ADA Parking (Closest Access)

    • Located along Solway Road

    • This is our closest parking area

    • ADA spaces are front‑row, with easy, direct access to the vendor booth area

    🚙 General Parking

    • A larger parking area is available off Dogwood Road

    • This lot is slightly farther away but still walkable and connected to the property

    Both parking areas are clearly marked, and staff will be onsite to help guide you if needed. We recommend using the ADA parking area only if you need it, so we can keep those front‑row spaces available for guests who rely on them.

  • Follow us on social media and keep an eye on our website for:

    • Upcoming dates & themes

    • Vendor spotlights

    • Weather updates

    • Special activities

    We promise useful updates — not spam.

  • We’re friendly. Truly.

    Stop by the Staff Tent, message us online, or reach out via email. We’re happy to help and want your visit to feel joyful, easy, and memorable.
