Regular Season
The regular Wilson Farmers & Artisan Market season is held Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. – 12:00
p.m., May through August. The market offers a central, convenient, open-air venue for local farmers, artisans, artists, and craftsmen to vend homegrown produce, freshly baked breads and pastries, local meats, honey, eggs, seedlings, flowers, soaps, jewelry, pottery, and more. Additional features include food trucks, non-profit partner booths, and family-friendly activities. Located under The Pavilion in the Vollis Simpson Whirligig Park, the market provides a large, shaded, multi-purpose shelter designed to emulate the roofline of the historic tobacco warehouse that once stood on the site. Adjacent picnic tables, a grassy lawn for games and lounging, a stage for live performances, and the iconic Whirligigs create a welcoming and unique experience for families, employees on lunch breaks, and visitors.
