With exciting markets starting in May, including both returning favorites and new additions, there’s no better time to explore and shop local. Here’s a roundup of some of the must-visit markets this spring and summer!

Downtown Clarksville Farmers Market

Expect a lively mix of local farmers, artisans, and food trucks. It’s perfect for families—don’t miss the adorable petting zoo, grab a sweet treat from one of the food trucks, and enjoy some of the best the community has to offer.

Sango Night Market

Returning for its second year, the Sango Night Market will run every Monday evening from Memorial Day to Labor Day! This year, the market will take place at Real Life Sango Church, offering a family-friendly atmosphere with a playground for kids and Beck’s Farmhouse Coffee inside to cool off and give us all the feel-good caffeine boost. Monday nights from 4-7 p.m. will be a great way to unwind with live music, local vendors, and a fun outdoor environment!

Enjoy the lively atmosphere, sip on a delicious drink, and discover unique local goods.

Sunday on Strawberry

The first Sunday of every month (April-November) means it’s time for Sunday on Strawberry! From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Strawberry Alley in downtown Clarksville will be filled with local vendors offering fresh produce, handmade goods, and unique finds. Whether you’re grabbing brunch or enjoying a post-church shopping spree, this is the perfect way to spend your Sunday morning in the heart of the city.
