The Farmers’ Market season is kicking off Saturday, June 5 at the Courthouse in downtown Greenville from 9:00am – 1:00pm. To welcome the fresh and local market season many activities are scheduled during opening day as well as throughout the market season.
Besides the awesome fresh produce, handmade products and homemade goodies, the market will be the stage for Sweet Surrender, a wholesome, family oriented music performer. Sweet Surrender’s founder, Gill Miller, will be performing at the Courthouse gazebo from 10:30 am-12:30 pm opening day and every first Saturday of the market season.
Another great addition to the market is Artists on the Lawn. Members of the Greenville Art Guild will be painting and displaying their talents for market goers. “We enjoy creating our art in the shadow of our historic Courthouse. The Farmers' Market scene with its patrons make great subjects for paintings,” commented Jan Boyer, President of the Greenville Art Guild.
