This Week at the Athens Saturday Market – August 24, 2019

We would like to thank our presenting sponsor WOW! Internet Cable & Phone for sponsoring our market this season!

Come to the gathering spot to hear tunes from Brandt Latimer! Sit back in one of our rocking chairs painted by local artists and relax to some great music. Children will love our Kids Corner! This week, Dr. Sara Cline will help children build their own bird feeders! Once you’re ready, stop by the Spud Truck for a biscuit or a breakfast spud creation.

This Saturday is the last day of market for this Season! We have had a wonderful year and we would like to thank each of our vendors, food trucks and artisans that make the market the unique place that it is! Join us again for the fall market on October 12!
