The Simpsonville Farmers Market is an open-air market held on in-season Saturdays in the heart of downtown Simpsonville. Our vendors are local farmers and artisans, and unlike others in the area we plan and run our own market each year. We feature an array of products from the expected seasonal fruits and vegetables, to eggs and artisan cheeses, locally roasted coffee, eggs and meat, health and beauty care, and much more. What was a small affair in 2010 has now grown into a celebrated market known locally for its high quality and variety.
There is a lot to choose from, so make sure you bring your reusable shopping bags!

Innovation is a contact sport
On September 23, 2023, at the Hyatt Regency Greenville, a dynamic group of thought leaders is meeting at the InnoVenture Futures Festival to explore creating the future for ourselves, our organizations, and our region.
It’s a Festival, so we’ll connect over inspiring presentations, delicious food, and great music. We’ll explore combining our passions with our professions in the Jazz of Sales, Excelling at an Olympic Level, and the Dance of Bioengineering. Big organizations will present their innovation priority needs which are business development and job opportunities for others.
A networking lunch and a long networking break with an interesting technology demonstration will provide time for great connections to make attending the Festival worthwhile. We’ll end the evening with live music and beverages on Noma Square outside the Hyatt.
We’ll help optimize your networking by distributing free to those registered to attend the inaugural Carolina Crescent Smart Manufacturing Report documenting the needs and capabilities of 50+ manufacturers, logistics organizations, technology providers, colleges and universities, and economic and workforce development agencies.
We’ll set the foundation for a multi-day 2024 Festival of Festivals on the Canvas of Greenville with multiple events by numerous organizations tapping into our global relationships to “Bring the World to the Carolina Crescent.”
Your insights are valuable to us. We appreciate you joining us as we explore together how to predict our future by creating it.
