While the Nashville Farmers Market is open every day of the week, many neighborhoods have thriving weekly markets with live music, kid-friendly activities, food trucks, and lots of local vendors. Shopping at farmers markets is a great way to spend the day while supporting local businesses. Here’s a guide to our faves.
