Set beneath the oaks on James Island, the Sunday Brunch Farmers Market is one of Charleston’s most beloved weekly events. Launched in 2012, this vibrant market was founded with a vision to combine local farming, artisan goods, and a laid-back community vibe—all during the best part of the week: Sunday brunch. 🥑🌞
What started as a handful of vendors outside the Pour House music venue has grown into a celebrated open-air tradition where Charleston locals and visitors shop, snack, sip, and mingle. The market embraces sustainability, creativity, and connection—every Sunday, rain or shine.
