Holiday on the Green: Clemson Farmers Market First-Wednesday Series
Three Seasonal Markets Bringing Fall Harvest and Holiday Magic to Patrick Square
Marking the Calendar: Our First-Wednesday Seasonal Markets are Here!
As our regular weekly season winds down in September, the energy at the Clemson Farmers Market is just getting started! We know how much our community loves the Wednesday tradition at Patrick Square, which is why the Chamber is thrilled to keep the momentum going through the end of the year.
We are moving into our Special Seasonal Market Series, held on the first Wednesday of October, November, and December. These aren't just markets; they are community celebrations that highlight the best of the holidays with your favorite local vendors.
October 7th: The Halloween HarvestTime: 3:30 PM – 6:30 PM
Kick off the spooky season with us! Our October market is the ultimate destination for fall decor and treats.
- For the Kids: We’ll have trick-or-treating opportunities and festive activities to get everyone in the Halloween spirit.
- The Haul: Stock up on pumpkins, gourds, and late-harvest root vegetables. It’s also the perfect time to grab local honey and cider for those crisp autumn evenings.
November 4th: The Fall Festive MarketTime: 3:30 PM – 6:30 PM
Before you sit down for your Thanksgiving feast, let our vendors help you set the table. The November market focuses on the "bounty of the county."
- Holiday Prep: Find farm-fresh ingredients for your holiday sides, artisan breads, and specialty pimento cheeses.
- Early Gifting: Our local makers will have hand-crafted soaps, woodwork, and jewelry available—perfect for beating the "Black Friday" rush and supporting local instead.
December 2nd: Christmas on the Green (Special Holiday Market)Time: 3:00 PM – 6:00 PM (Note the slightly earlier start!)
This is the big one! We transform the Patrick Square Village Green into a scene straight out of a Hallmark movie for our final market of the year.
- Meet Santa: The big man himself will be making a grand entrance (traditionally on a fire truck!) to take photos and hear Christmas wishes.
- The Atmosphere: Enjoy live holiday music, hot chocolate stations, and a festive "Lights On" vibe.
- Gifts with Heart: With over 40 vendors, you can finish your Christmas shopping with one-of-a-kind art, local preserves, and gourmet treats that you won't find in any big-box store.
Support Those Who Work the Holidays
Our vendors are the backbone of this community. While many are prepping for their own family celebrations, they are out here in the cold and the dark to ensure you have access to fresh, local goods. By shopping these three seasonal markets, you aren't just buying a product—you’re directly supporting a neighbor's small business during their most critical time of year.
We can’t wait to celebrate the magic of the seasons with you on the Green!
