Special holiday Farmers Market this weekend, and fundraiser at Trolley Stop Market

The Memphis Farmers Market normally runs at the Central Station Pavilion from April until October, but this Saturday, December 11, they’re back for one week only for “Harvesting the Holidays.” Over 40 vendors will be at the pavilion offering holiday gift ideas. Items for sale will include baked goods, seasonal produce and locally produced stocking stuffers. There will be hot cocoa and sweet treats.

Good news for those of us who wanted to support the market but couldn’t bear to get up at the ungodly hour of 7 AM for its opening… this week it opens at 10 AM, much more reasonable. It will be open until 3 in the afternoon. At 11 there will be a groundbreaking ceremony for the expansion of the pavilion and the market.

Bring the kids in the afternoon, because they can get their photo taken with Santa from 1 to 3.

That evening at the Trolley Stop Market at 704 Madison, there will be a concert to benefit the Farmers Market. $10 donation goes to MFM. Star & Micey will perform, and there will be dinner and drink specials all evening. 7:30 to 11 PM.
