After much careful thought and consideration, we are unfortunately announcing the Smyrna Outdoor Market will be cancelled for this year. Staffing challenges plus social distancing and the virus have just been too much.

Due to the need to continue to social distance and limit large groups, the Smyrna Outdoor Market has pushed our start date until at least July 11th.

While the farmers market season is rapidly approaching, with the CoVid19 virus many are pushing out their start dates. In order to protect the Smyrna Outdoor Market vendors and patrons, we have made the decision to push back our start date to June 6. We are still looking forward to great season, even though it might be shorter than expected. All interested vendors, please continue to send in your applications. Applications can be requested, or submitted, by emailing [email protected] Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to seeing everyone in June.
