JOIN US FOR OPENING DAY

Mark your calendars now for Tuesday, May 19 for the summer kick-off of Pearl Market. Farmers and merchants will be ready to greet you at 10:30 a.m. and they’ll stick around until 2 p.m. Festivities continue every Tuesday and Friday, May 19 through October 30. And don’t forget, thanks to a generous grant from Puffin Foundation West, Pearl Market doubles the spending power for those shoppers using the Ohio Directions Card. Just stop by the Pearl Market Welcome tent to get all the details. So on May 19th please join us to officially shoo away chilly temperatures and welcome in some warm sunny skies. You will hear bagpipes and drums, and will see a super tall stilt-walking tomato escorting the Columbus Police and Fire Pipe and Drums around Broad, High, Gay, and Third streets before entering the Market to officially kick off summer at 11:45a.m. The Market staff under Market Master Adam Schroeder works hard during the off season to bring you a wide variety of farmers and merchants so come say hello to some familiar faces and say a cheerful howdy-do to some new merchants and farmers. A veggie brigade will also be handing out FREE reusable shopping bags to passersby.
