Maryville Farmers' Market 20th Anniversary Dinner Event
Twenty years ago, a group of citizens from Maryville, TN including myself created the MFM because we believed a farmers market would help farmers sell their goods and it would help to create community. I am happy to say that this market is thriving and has become a true community treasure and it has given an outlet for local farmers to sell their products.
This market turns 20 this year and to celebrate – You are invited to celebrate 20 years of the Maryville Farmers' Market with a special dinner event celebrating community and delicious local food.
The Maryville Farmers' Market 20th Anniversary Dinner
will be held at the brand new at Maryville College Downtown Center (formerly the J&K store in downtown Maryville).
This event invites the community to come together to commemorate two decades of supporting local farmers and artisans. This in-person event will be filled with good company, great food, and live music by “Cats Away”.
Date and time: Saturday, August 23 · from 6 - 9pm
