Clarksville Downtown Market: Mother’s Day kickoff

The Clarksville Downtown Market, at 1 Public Square, runs Saturdays from May to October, 8 a.m. to noon. In 2026 it opened on Saturday, May 9, with a Mother’s Day Market Kick-off: the first 500 mothers received a growable seed planter, and the market raffled a gift basket of vendors’ goods. The 2026 season ran May 9 to Oct. 3.

The market has more than 50 full-season vendors, from farms and bakeries to soap, candle and woodworking makers, and live music. It was voted the No. 1 market in Tennessee in the American Farmland Trust’s 2025 Market Celebration, the city says. ADA parking is at the City Hall lot; the city’s market page maps the lots and garages where you can park.

2027: Mother’s Day is May 9, so the market’s Mother’s Day Saturday would be May 8. The city had not announced the 2027 opening date when we checked.
