A new sign now adorns the Landrum Farmers Market Pavilion. It will be known as the Joe Cunningham Jr. Market Pavilion.
Mr. Cunningham was one of the founders of the Landrum Farmers Market. After many years of local farmers selling and trading goods on North Trade Avenue, it was his dream to construct a permanent building to accommodate the vendors at the market.
In 2022, the City of Landrum opened a new pavilion that now serves as a permanent home for the Farmers Market. The facility contributes to our agricultural and economic development, while enhancing community engagement as well as providing visitor appeal to Landrum.
Mr. Cunningham passed away on July 12, 2023 but his memory will live on in our hearts, every time we step through the doors of the Joe Cunningham Jr. Market Pavilion. The opening date for this year’s Farmers Market is Saturday, April 6, 2024 from 8:00am-12:00pm.
