Tuesday night market adds concerts to lineup

The West Homewood Farmers Market is adding a monthly concert series to its events, which will be on the third Thursday of the month starting in August.  

The first of the Tuesday Night Lights Fall Concert Series will welcome Nashville band The Vespers. Made of up two pairs of siblings, The Vespers formed in 2009 writing and performing bluegrass-influenced folk music.

The concert will begin at the end of the market on Aug. 18 at 8 p.m., but you can come early to find local produce and crafts for sale as well as a dining selection from food trucks.

“We’re hoping concert goers will consider checking out the market and have dinner before the concert,” Market Manager Kenyon Ross said. 

The first 150 tickets are $10 until Aug. 4, and then tickets will be sold for $15 online and at the door. 

Other Tuesday Night Lights Fall Concert Series and market dates for the fall are Sept. 15 and Oct. 20, with the market running from 5-8 p.m. and the concert at 8 p.m. 

West Homewood Market meets in the parking lot of Shades Valley Community Church at 160 Oxmoor Road. For tickets or more information, visit westhomewood.com.
