Athens Art Market and Athens Farmers Market are moving!
The Athens Farmers Market has been working for years to secure a permanent, affordable location for its year-round market.
Beginning Wednesday Nov 2, 2022, all AFM Wednesday and Saturday markets will be located at the Athens Community Center campus from 9-noon. Market booths will be arranged under the solar panels and around their perimeter, backing up to the tennis court green space.
The Athens Art Guild’s Art Market is making the move, as well.
The Athens Farmers Market, Athens Art Guild, Athens Community Center and city leaders see this move as an opportunity to broaden the market’s positive impact on the region, highlight the AFM’s name as the BEST market in the state and help increase the market's financial security.
During the winter months (Dec 3 – March 25), inside vendors will set up in the Community Center while outside vendors remain under the solar array.
This location offers many benefits including green space with picnic tables making the market a destination for customers to spend the morning socializing, eating, and shopping.
