Pooler Farmers Market, March 10 2024 @ Tom Triplett Park

We’ve already had roughly 10,000 people come through this incredible mega market & farmers market. If you haven’t visited the market yet, what are you waiting for? The free-family-friendly Pooler Mega Pop Up & Farmer’s Market is back at Tom Triplett Park March 10 2024 from 10AM – 4PM.

Last month we moved the kid zone with lots of new games and activities to the tennis courts and it was a big hit. Each month we have new healthy living workshops and at least one free workout session that is kid friendly.  We have truly designed this event to be a family affair. 

Our three best tips for a great time at the market:

1. Wear comfy shoes. The event is around the lake. We want you to experience this beautiful park from all angles.

2. Stop and talk to as many vendors as possible. You just might find that you have some pretty incredible neighbors.

3. Come early and plan to stay awhile! There’s a lot to do and see.
