Fall festival

A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to the Farmers Fall Festival yesterday! Y’all showed up in numbers we haven’t ever seen before and we are truly grateful for it. It takes a small army to run an event like this and we couldn’t do it without our amazing event planner, our board, the @downtowncarypark staff, and all of the selfless volunteers who helped make it all happen❤️

It’s finally here! This Saturday (9/19) is The Farmers Fall Festival! Check out our final lineup, which includes both regular farmers market vendors, as well as a ton of special event vendors! Another huge thank you to all lovely sponsors who give us the support to make this happen, and the amazing folks at the @downtowncarypark who provide an absolutely stunning background for the festival!

The Farmers Fall Festival isn’t just a fun event, it’s also the largest fundraiser for our Farmers Market, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. And a big portion of that fundraising comes from our amazing sponsors. We don’t just accept anyone who wants to give us money. They aren’t just names on a sign. We only partner with people who care about our community and the work we do. They aren’t just sponsors, they are our friends and neighbors. So if you love coming to the festival each year or the farmers market each week, please make sure you stop by their booths and say thank you. This event couldn’t happen without them. We appreciate you: @cashleymanndds @neighborupnc @atlanticunionbank @meridiancary @meridianeastchatham @onceinabluemoonbakery @thewalkerapts @thedouglasrealtygroup @mosasparesort

The musical lineup for this year’s Farmers Fall Festival is made up of two of our favorite local acts. @gracielu.luvsu has been wowing our market patrons and vendors for years and we’re excited to finally see her on the big stage. And the @purebredmuttsband is back for their second year at the festival with their irresistibly fun bluegrass tunes. A huge thank you to our stage sponsor @neighborupnc for helping us showcase these amazing local musicians. See you this Saturday, 9/19 from 11am-4pm at the @downtowncarypark !
