Greenville’s Saturday Market is Back! Here’s What You Can Expect

Greenville’s weekly Saturday Market is back. Venture to downtown Greenville every Saturday morning for an extensive farmer’s market filled with local goods and crafts.

From May to October, two blocks of Main Street are dedicated to the market, which first began in 2003.

According to their website, “the market features over 75 vendors selling the season’s freshest produce and the area’s most original and high quality crafts. Each week thousands of people flock to the TD Saturday Market for locally-sourced products where all food must be grown or produced within 100 miles of Greenville and crafters are highly-encouraged to use locally-sourced supplies. ”

Some of the current vendors at the Saturday Market include Beechwood Farms, Banana Manna, Blue Ridge Creamery, Naked Pasta, Great Harvest Bread Co. and Swamp Rabbit Cafe and Grocery.

In an effort to keep vendors and visitors safe, the market has added public hand-sanitizing stations and distanced vendors 6 feet apart. Face masks are also required.

Popular Arts Festival Returning to Greenville in May

Artisphere, a popular arts festival, is returning to Greenville in the spring of 2021.

This year’s festival will take place from May 7th through May 9th. Artisphere usually attracts thousands of patrons and provides a large economic impact to the city of Greenville.

While last year’s event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, officials are hopeful that, with the addition of new safety measures, this year’s festival will go off without a hitch. In an effort to provide a safe environment for patrons, the event will be gated around the West End area and will require everyone to wear face masks.

Kerry Murphy, Artisphere executive director, highlighted the impact of the pandemic on the arts saying, “The creative industry — artists, musicians, performers alike — their livelihoods came to a crashing halt last spring. And by the time we reconnected with them in the fall for our virtual experience, they had lost upwards of 75 to 80 percent of their annual revenue. While it is our hope that we can help them get back on their feet, it is not without an uncompromising commitment to public safety.”
