The market is open to the public for all ages, bringing more than 40 makers, artisans and creative small businesses. From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, visitors can find the market on King Ave where they’ll discover handmade seasonal gifts, home decor, accessories and many other arts and crafts.

Make the journey a field day by biking around the island, having a picnic under the shade from the trees around Colonels Row and grabbing a bite at the local food establishments, a perfect summer weekend day enjoyable for the whole family.
Don’t forget to visit the family of five sheep at Hammock Grove to complete the experience.
