Check out Hatteras Island’s three weekly markets during the summer of 2024

Visitors and residents who love discovering Hatteras Island’s talented artists have three opportunities every week to experience what the local arts scene is all about.

With the summertime return of the Tri Villages Market, Avon Farmers Market, and Old Trent Market, the island is brimming with shopping activity Tuesdays through Thursdays until Labor Day Weekend, and even beyond.

Details on each of the three markets are listed below, and all markets are wide open and free for the public to explore.

Featuring vendors, artists, and craftsmen from all across the island and the Outer Banks, each of the weekly local markets is worth a visit or three before the summer comes to an end.

Avon Farmers Market

Tuesdays, 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Located next to the Vacasa office along N.C. Highway 12.

The Avon Farmers Market, which is sponsored by the Avon Property Owners Association, features a variety of local artists, craftsmen, regional farmers, and other homegrown entrepreneurs, with a new-in-2023 location that is stationed on the grounds near Vacasa and the Avon Post Office. The market has roughly 50 different vendors every week, and runs every Tuesday until September 10.

Tri Villages Market

Wednesdays, 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Located at the Camp Hatteras Conference Center, and/or outside on the soundside lawn

The Tri Villages Market features dozens of local artists and makers who are sharing their wares. The event is held rain or shine, (thanks to Camp Hatteras’ indoor conference center), and the hand-crafted goodies include local artworks, apparel, handbags and accessories, jewelry, coastal-inspired gifts, and everything in between. The market runs weekly until September 25.
