Clarksville Downtown Market offers access to local wares

marketThe City of Clarksville, Office of Housing and Community Development, University of Tennessee and Tennessee State University Cooperative Extension, the Downtown Development Partnership and the Tennessee Small Business Center have come together in a collaborative effort to create a Downtown Market for the citizens of Clarksville and surrounding counties.

Beginning June 6, the Downtown Market will be open on Saturdays at One Public Square from 8:00am to 1:00pm each Saturday during market season.

The Market will feature fresh, locally grown produce, nursery stock, hand made craft items and other commodities available on a seasonal basis. All vendors and artisans meeting the attached criteria are invited to come and vend. To help kick-start this year”s market, the cost of participating is free for a basic 10” x 10” space! We have several booth spaces left at this time but act soon as we anticipate them filling up quickly!

The purpose of this organization is to provide for orderly operation of a market for area producers, artisans, and other entrepreneurs.

The spirit and intention of the Clarksville Downtown Market Association is to:

  • Provide an open venue for community enjoyment;
  • Provide an opportunity for vendors and consumers to sell and buy in an amicable exchange;
  • Support local producers, encourage downtown shopping, and support local farm preservation.
