Martin Family Park to host artisan market Saturday. There will be puppies

Let them eat cake — and adopt a puppy, too.

Lowcountry Made, an online community that seeks to support local artists and entrepreneurs through craft fairs and online promotion, will do just that Saturday as it hosts an artisan market at Martin Family Park in Bluffton. The two dozen vendors include Savannah-based animal rescue Renegade Paws Rescue, specialty cake shop Meg’s Sweet Treets, the Southern Peel pizza truck and Fábula Collective clothing company.

The outdoor event, taking place from 12 to 5 p.m., will feature live music from Drew Kuehner. It is sponsored by The Juice Hive.

This is the first time Lowcountry Made is hosting one of its popular artisan markets at Martin Family Park. Saturday’s event kicks off a series, with the park slated to host markets on select Saturdays through November. The markets are also held at Burnt Church Distillery from 1 to 5 p.m. each second Sunday through the end of the year (with the exception of Oct. 10).

More information can be found on Facebook.

Martin Family Park is located at 68 Boundary Street in Old Town Bluffton.
