The Oak Island Farmers' & Artisans' Market is a great opportunity for the public to see and financially support the very best of Oak Island's local growers and crafters. Farmers and artisans alike can be found in this great showcase of baked goods, produce, handmade crafts, and artistic goods.  This market takes place on Monday mornings and runs from 8:00 AM - 1:00 PM each market day.  

Located steps away from the Kevin Bell Skate Park, Pirate Ship Playground, Oak Island Splash Pad, and just across the street from the beach; it's the perfect outing for the entire family. For questions, or more information, please contact Program Supervisor, Ryan Gordon at rgordon@oakislandnc.gov or by calling 910-278-4747.
