Made Here Market
One Saturday a year, Cedar Avenue closes and fills up with people who make things here. Sixty-odd stalls, food trucks, live music, and a whole lot of local product you cannot buy in a chain store.
Made here, sold here
For shoppers
Turn up and walk it. Everything on the street was made by somebody from around here, and most of them are stood behind their own table ready to talk about it.
For makers
A market is the cheapest real-world test a product business can get: a day of strangers picking things up, asking prices, and telling you exactly what they think.
Why we run it
Plenty of Upper Cumberland businesses started as a table at a market. This is the table, and the coaching that comes after it is free.
Past years on Cedar
When

Cedar Avenue in downtown Cookeville, outside The Biz Foundry at 114 N Cedar Ave. Outdoors, on the street, food trucks included.
Want a table?
The street layout runs to about sixty numbered booths, plus an info table, a kids' section, a music stage and room for food trucks. Applications open ahead of each market. Email us and we will send you the application as soon as it is open, along with what a spot costs and what you need to bring.

Selling something you made?
The market is one Saturday. The help is year round, and it does not cost anything.
