Opening Day plans include free anniversary cake baked by Erin Gresh of Forget Me Not Bakery. A nasturtium plant giveaway will begin at 9:30 a.m. while supplies last. The event is also set to feature Monster Bubbles, along with food from Bonjour Creperie Food Truck, Antojitos Mexicanos Maritity, Burek by Zeni, and the Helpful Foodie.

Live music will be by The Goose Creek Pioneers.

On opening day, vendors will be offering fresh vegetables, pasture-raised meats, artisan cheeses, eggs, sourdough bread, mushrooms, locally roasted coffee, olive oil, sweets, pickles, granola, local honey, ready-to-eat meals, soaps, and doggie treats.

The first market will also offer flower bouquets, spinach, root vegetables and tender spring leafy greens. Organizers listed bok choy, arugula, lettuces, spring onions, microgreens and herbs among the seasonal items shoppers will be able to find.
