✨ Why Visit The Playful Pop Up?
Step into a treasure‑hunt‑style market where playtime meets shop time and memories are made every weekend .
The Playful Pop Up is a family ‑ friendly, outdoor market located in West Knoxville, near Hardin Valley. Designed for curious kids, happy parents, and anyone who loves discovering something unexpected.
Open May through January, our market transforms each weekend with fresh themes and events, making every visit feel brand new.
You’ll find a thoughtful mix of creative, small, local vendors, upcycled and eco‑friendly handmade goods, vintage and antiques, farm‑fresh finds, food trucks, and activities for all ages—all in one playful, welcoming space.
Makers shine here—just not alone. The Playful Pop Up is an upscale and eclectic, community - focused market, for makers, artists, up-cyclers, and purveyors of the perfect remake or cupcake. They are all part of a carefully curated, ever changing mix that turns every visit into a true treasure hunt.
Here, kids can play while parents shop, or shop, snack, and explore together. It’s all about supporting Knoxville’s small businesses, creating memorable weekends with your kids and grandkids, and soaking up the magic that only pop‑up markets bring.
Whether you’re hunting for the perfect gift, cheering on local creatives, entertaining the kids, or just enjoying the weekend vibes —there’s always a reason to come back.
