Anchored by the Farmers Market Pavilion and Downtown Green to the south and the historic Rose Center to the north, Morristown’s historic district is home to a diverse variety of businesses. You’ll find the Concert on the Green series at the Downtown Green on the first Fridays of May through October. Food trucks, craft beer, and regional artisans selling their creations add to the festive atmosphere of the evening.
Rose Center for the Arts is the artistic and cultural hub of the area. Their gift shop, featuring the work of many diverse artisans, is the perfect place to find that one-of-a-kind item. The award-winning Mountain Makins festival takes over the center the 4th weekend in October. Named the Best Festival in the Southeast, it showcases the very best of Appalachian folk-life culture with a multitude of artisans and crafters, entertainment, and delicious food.
Featuring the nation’s only overhead sidewalk system, the Sky Mart, Main Street is home to a variety of businesses. Four vintage shops house an eclectic mix of antiques, vintage clothing, furniture, and hand-made items. You can try your hand at the pottery wheel or paint a masterpiece at Pink Pig or make your own scented candle at Toadily Studios. Gigi’s on Main, Rowena’s, and Backstage Gifts all offer unique gift items and home goods. If you happen to have a four-legged friend, be sure to pick-up a homemade treat for them at Barkery Tails pet boutique and bakery.
Celebrating its third year in operation is 1907 Brewing Company, offering a wide selection of craft beers, ciders, wine and craft sodas. Grab some pub grub from one of the downtown food trucks and enjoy one of 1907’s trivia nights, music events, or themed parties.
