Dear reader,…read more Charleston City Market is exactly the sort of place that makes casual browsing turn into a full-fledged expedition. It is full of jewelry, handmade gifts, local art, and all manner of treasures, and so many visitors seem to love the same thing: the sheer variety and the chance to find something that actually feels special rather than mass-produced. That absolutely tracked for us. The Market itself has been a Charleston staple for over 200 years, and it still feels lively, local, and full of character. What really stood out for me was an artist who went by Andy, who had a collection of pop art vinyl records that was genuinely fantastic. Using mixed media, he created pieces featuring different singers, musicians, and bands on old vinyl records, which felt both clever and beautifully done. I chose an amazing Mary J. Blige piece that was also hand-painted, and I was absolutely thrilled with it. The value of your dollar was VERY worth getting one (or more)! Cash only! Overall, this was a thoroughly enjoyable wander and a very good place to find art, gifts, and a few things you did not know you needed. I would happily go back.

Impressive place! The Charleston City Market goes 4 blocks. The shopping experience stretches from…read moreMeeting Street (where you'll enter) to the end of the waterfront. We had no idea until we entered just how far it went; it goes "on & on"! So much history within these buildings. It's one of the oldest public markets in the U.S. Has weathered many storms and has been registered in the National Registry of Historic Places. Established in 1788 (even though the inside entrance stats 1807) & as of today it still stands on the premises of monetary trades & services, as well as shared cultural heritage. There are countess vendors throughout this retail galleria. We enjoyed mainly browsing the works of products that were officially certified as Handmade in Charleston. You won't get tired of looking, but a lot of repeat sellers. It's essentially like a flea market if you will. It was fun, but way too much basket weaving vendors. Was so intriguing to watch the Gullah artistry & understand its importance here, but would have liked to have seen and explored MORE local foods. Wished that they would have had a specific area that was an actual type of wet market/ open-air concept or traditional marketplace that sells fresh, perishable foods like meat, seafood, and produce focusing more on local eats and food heritage of its distinct low country cuisine. There were some food spots, just not what we had envisioned or experiencing with other east coast markets we've been to. Bought a bottled water that was over $5! Other than that, we didn't buy anything else. However, definitely worth a stroll and a unique experience. Perfect touristy spot! *Open daily 9:30 AM-5:30 PM Fri & Saturday Night 6:30 PM -10:30 PM

Today I got some olive oil from Olinda's stand. They were able to give me a sample (delicious) and the owners were very nice. They also sell refillable bottles, and the price is great long term.

Really enjoyed visiting the Charleston Farmers Market. Located in Marion Square in beautiful…read moredowntown. There's a great variety of fresh produce, local food, and handmade items. The atmosphere is lively and perfect for a weekend outing. We weee visiting and picked up some great gifts to bring home. We enjoyed browsing what the has to offer & thought our coffee were delightful from Coastal Cowgirl Coffee too! My daughter got cotton candy that did t have much flavor just tasty ed of plain sure yet still a fun treat. They have the nicest set up for pets. Little doggie stations that have tents, towels, buckets of water and bowls for them to rehydrate. They go above and beyond for their furry friends visiting the market. Only downside was that it gets quite crowded, fresh produce and local crafts can be somewhat expensive & you have to pay for parking, so you may have a little further of a walk to get there.

Omg it's a touch of home with all the local craft vendors, kettle corn pop corn and fresh veggies…read more Couple of food trucks to peak your interest like Waffle Sensations and the Crepe station are some of my favs. Wish there was more live music and ability for food trucks to come participate without all the fees for permits. I understand the town has to have a benefit too so I get it but more food options would be great even though you can patronize the local restaurants as well. The kettle corn station is a hit for me everytime as the Farmers Market is just a touch of what happens during Flowertown Festival.

Such an inspiration.I love seeing the different crafts and tasting the homemade goodies. I always come home with tons of stuff each time:) If you have never been, please put this on your to-do list! I promise you will enjoy it. It is impossible to take a scroll there and come back empty-handed. Spending your money here is totally worth it. I will go again and again! Always enjoy supporting local businesses. I have so much fun until I forget to snap pictures:) Sometimes parking is a headache but who cares, I love it!

This is an amazing Farmers Market. I almost want to schedule my next Charleston trip for a Tuesday…read morejust so I can come back. So many great vendors, food options, great music, and a friendly atmosphere. I wish we were staying longer in the area, we would have bought more and tried more food. We got cookies from the cookie vendor, dog treats (that my dog loves) from the southern barkery, pasta from the lady that sells homemade pasta, peaches, blue berries from a farmer, and jalapeño and cheese sausage, and eggs from the guy that sells meat. We also got a lemonade from the lemonade guy. All 5 stars. Amazing eggs. Pasta was amazing. Great cookies. Great fruit. These vendors/farmers really know what they are doing. And great music. Can't wait to go back.

Been going to the Mount Pleasant farmers market for years…read more Awesome place and it's wonderful to purchase locally. However, encountered the most insensitive vendor today... from Grit Bakery. Bread is delicious. Vendor did not start on time. Kept us waiting for 15 min (in the hot sun) after bell was rung to begin sales. Also, completely inflexible when asked to substitute bread which was over-baked. Great bread poor service from only one vendor. Love our Farmers Market ! 5+ stars to the Market, 3 stars to the vendor !

There are so many tourists and people in this area and they don't know the flea market is even here. I know that they have enough vendors and that the flea market owners make their money through vendors paying for space so they don't really care as much what buyers show up as long as they fill up their spots, but there are vendors who would like to sell other items than what to Hispanic community wants to buy. If they did more advertising, they could get other clientel out here. It wouldn't be that hard to put up a billboard or two and maybe cater to the tourists because I believe some would come.
