It’s not just a market—it’s a vibe. On Saturday, May 31 (10 AM–3 PM), the Three Seasons Vendor Market brings together everything from metaphysical must-haves and hand-poured candles to goat milk soaps and custom leather belts. Bonus? This weekend's event supports Paws for Life NC, so your splurges help some sweet pups find forever homes.
Come for the sage and tarot, stay for the lemonade and dog bandanas. You might even get your chakras realigned next to a table of gnomes. Check out the full list of vendors here and get a sneak peek of what your wallet’s up against.
This isn’t sponsored (we’d tell you). We just like markets where you can buy soap, spells, and snacks in one trip. (Just so you know: Sponsored content in our newsletter is always marked with “*”).
