The upcoming Palmetto Bluff Holiday Farmers Market by Palmetto Bluff and Lowcountry Made was canceled by organizers this afternoon.

The reason for the cancellation of the holiday edition of the market was due to the inclement weather set to occur on the day of the event.

A coastal storm is expected to impact the local area on Sunday, the day of the anticipated market, and is expected to bring heavy rain, winds and potential flooding.

The decision to cancel was for the safety of both vendors and attendees, as this storm could lead to unsafe conditions, said event organizers.

The event will not be rescheduled.

Although the holiday edition was canceled, the Palmetto Bluff Farmers Market will return next spring for members of the community and public.

On Sunday, December 17, the Palmetto Bluff Holiday Farmer’s Market will host a brunch with Santa and Mrs. Claus in Wilson Village.
