Join us for October First Saturday at West Edge Factory! Browse Appalachian vendors, including artists, makers, craftspeople, and small businesses offering unique handmade goods and locally made products. Enjoy live music from buskers throughout the market, free hands-on art activities for all ages, food trucks, and a brand-new exhibit in the Turret Gallery, Haunted Holler: A Spooky Appalachian Art Show, featuring eerie and enchanting artwork inspired by Appalachian folklore, ghost stories, and all things spooky.

Whether you’re an experienced dancer or just looking to move and have fun, everyone is welcome. Times will be announced soon so stay tuned for details. October’s market day will also feature our first-ever Cryptid Pickleball Tournament, where players will take the courts dressed as their favorite Appalachian cryptids. Huntington’s own Hoot & Holler community marching band will be there to cheer on the players and bring plenty of energy to the event. More details and registration information for the tournament will be announced soon.
