The market is not a new idea: it has long served as a central place to sell food, produce, local products, art, flowers – you name it. In the modern day, this idea has reappeared in the form of the shopping mall. In some locales, though, classic markets still exist for the purpose of offering products from local independent growers, artisans and vendors. There’s one in our capital city that is not to be missed.

The Capitol Market in Charleston is open year-round. The bulk of the market is located indoors, but you will also find the market expanded to include the outside, even in the winter.
