CARTERSVILLE, GA — Organizers behind the Cartersville Farmers Market are preparing to open the 2018 season in less than a month. The annual market will begin Wednesday, May 2 and run through the end of October.

The market will set up shop in the Founder's Oak parking lot, which is across from Cartersville City Hall and next to the railroad tracks. Season hours and dates are 7 a.m. to noon Saturdays and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesdays.

Along with finding great produce, fresh flowers, baked good and handmade crafts, the market allows you to catch up with old friends and make new connections.
