Our markets just aren't the same without our beloved craft vendors, so we were thrilled to be able to bring back some of your favorite local artisans to the Market at Mary Costa Plaza over the last few weeks! You can expect to find 15-20 craft vendors at the market every Saturday through the end of the season, including potters, woodworkers, jewelers, artists, and more.

Before visiting the market, please remember:
✓ Wear a face-covering while in the market
✓ The first hour of every market is reserved for at-risk shoppers, through November.
✓ Free parking is available in Garage A
✓ The full list of Healthy Market Guidelines is available on our website.

The Market Square Farmers’ Market is an open-air farmers’ market. Everything at the MSFM is grown or made by the vendor in the East Tennessee region. Products vary by the seasons and include produce, eggs, honey, herbs, pasture-raised meat, bread, baked goods, salsas, coffee, artisan crafts, and more.

Daisy Wertham has just demolished another car and now the wealthy, sharp-tongued widow must rely on the services of a chauffeur. She immediately disregards her new black driver, Hoke, with disdain and he, in turn, is not impressed with her patronizing tone. Despite their mutual differences, over time they grow ever closer and more dependent on each other than either ever imagined.
