Free workouts, Kids Zone , Healthy Living Workshops @ Pooler Farmers Market in Tom Triplett Park

We’ve made quite a few improvements for this month’s Mega Pop-Up and Farmers Market in Pooler.

The BIGGEST improvement is parking! We’ve moved all the vendors and activities to the front of the park and are utilizing the back field for parking. 

The MOST FUN improvement is that we’ve added some pretty cool games to the kid zone; which is now located inside the tennis courts. 

We didn’t leave out the parents! We have a Black History Month celebration happening in the main pavilion, live music, incredible vendors, a farmers market section (now near the dog park), free fitness classes and healthy living workshops for YOU!

Activities are free but you must register in advance online here.  

Pooler Mega Pop-Up & Farmers’ Market is Sun. Feb. 11 2024, 10AM-4PM @ Tom Triplett Park in Pooler.
