Wilkesboro Open Air Market

The Wilkesboro Open Air Market provides a comfortable location for consumers, farmers and artisans to buy and sell "fresh from the farm" produce as well as "handcrafted" products.

The "regular" Open Air Market will occur every Friday afternoon from 4 pm until 8 pm, kicking off May 2nd and running through September 19th.

We are proud to announce the addition of 1st Friday Dances. The Wilkesboro Open Air Market has partnered with the Brushy Mountain Shag Club to offer beach music and FREE shag dancing lessons on every 1st Friday from May through September as part of the weekly Open Air Market. An outdoor dance floor and an on-site DJ will be made available by the Town of Wilkesboro during the 1st Friday Dances.

The “Third Friday” special events will occur every month (May through September) and will begin at 4 pm and end at 8:00 pm. The Third Friday events will highlight many different types of vendors, including but not be limited to: downtown merchants, food vendors, local musicians, regional farms and produce, crafts, arts, demonstrators, and non-profit and/or civic organizations. The Third Friday events will include vendors who participate during the regular Open Air Markets. Each Third Friday Open Air Market will be themed with live music. Children activities will also be provided.

The Open Air Market will take place in the town owned parking area located adjacent to the Wilkes Heritage Museum.

Come for the FRESHNESS, and stay for the FUN!
