Thank you for loving downtown Hartsville! Main Street Hartsville has great plans for our city this year, focusing on building an attractive, economically vibrant downtown commercial district. Your sponsorship will help to further our efforts in economic development, events and promotions that keep our sidewalks filled with life and commerce, and engage our community with their downtown.
This year, instead of asking you as each event comes up, we thought it might be helpful for you to plan your support based on our Calendar of Events, which includes:
Hartsville Farmers Market
The Hartsville Farmers Market is held every second Saturday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm from April through December.
Our newly energized farmer’s market was relocated in 2015 to the 100 block of East Carolina Avenue, between 5th Street and The Mantissa Executive Suites, with tremendous response from the community and downtown storefronts, as it was a huge traffic-building event. This free-to-the-public street fair is a juried show, with outreach to local farmers and artisans, offering wholesome and handcrafted regional specialties, with a larger emphasis on farm-fresh fare. Expenses include: live musicians and entertainment, new signage, tables, tents, insurance, port-a-johns and marketing.
