At the Nash County Farmers Market segment, a market host laid out the 2026 season calendar and several community events aimed at families and vendors.
The host said the kickoff concert is March 28 (food served at 5:00 p.m., concert at 6:00 p.m.) with free pork barbecue and live music featuring Meredith Davis Johnson and Chandler James. Opening day is scheduled for April 4, coinciding with Easter weekend, and the host encouraged residents to support vendors who will be selling produce, flowers and gifts.
The market is also running a two‑day farm‑tour fundraiser on May 2 and May 3, with two trails (one in Southern Nash and one near Nashville) priced at $20 per day per carload or $35 for both days.
