***PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN CHAIR

It looks like the rain has finally moved out! The forecast for Thursday night is perfect. Join us in Downtown Corbin for local shopping, dining, and music.

Our EDC will be active, which means those 21+ can purchase alcoholic beverages at participating downtown restaurants to carry over to Nibroc Park for live music!

Grab your food to-go from a local eatery and head over to Nibroc Park. There you can snag a table OR bring a blanket and enjoy a sunset picnic. The Cumberland Arts Collective will have local vendors with items for purchase. Josh Teague will get the music started at 6:30 PM, while our headliner, Sydney Adams, will take the stage with her full band at 8:00 PM. Hope to see you there!

A huge thank you to everyone who came out tonight for a somewhat rained out meet up. But what fun we had till the storms started!

Urban sketching and mingling with fellow creatives at the Whitley County Farmers market in downtown Corbin. Cultivating creative community is what it's all about!

We will try to have a date soon for our roundtable "Art and Ai" discussion.

Send us an email if you want meet up reminders and our newsletter packed with all kinds of creative inspiration.

Tonight is opening night of the Corbin Farmer's Market!

Mark your calendars! The Whitley County Farmers Market opening dates are here!
We’re excited to kick off our 2026 season with two weekly markets:

Downtown Corbin Farmers Market
Hometown Bank Farmers Market Pavilion
208 N Main St, Corbin, KY 40701
Every Tuesday | 5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Opening Day: April 28, 2026
Markets run weekly through the end of August.

Williamsburg (Goldbug) Farmers Market
Farmers Market Pavilion behind the Whitley County Extension Office
4275 U.S. 25W N, Williamsburg, KY 40769
Every Saturday | 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Opening Day: May 9, 2026
Markets run weekly through the end of August.

Interested in becoming a vendor?
We love supporting local growers, bakers, and makers, so our market is no-resell. That means everything sold must be grown, made, or created by the vendor—resale and direct-sales items aren’t the right fit for this market.

To learn more, email [email protected] or attend our WCFM Vendor Meeting on March 7 at 5:00 PM at the Whitley County Cooperative Extension Office.

We look forward to another great season with you!
