Peachtree Corners launches new ‘night market’

How Peachtree Corners became a city Peachtree Corners is one of the newest cities in Georgia, having been founded on July 1, 2012. The origins of Peachtree Corners began in the late 1960s when businessman Paul Duke pitched the idea. Duke hoped to create the Technology Park Atlanta, which exists today as a campus of low-rise business that's home to Fortune 500 businesses. Known as the "City by the River" for it's proximity to the Chattahoochee River, Peachtree Corners is located in Gwinnett County. Duke, w

Peachtree Corners is venturing into the night with a new idea. Beginning in May, the city will offer a Night Market 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. once each month on Friday evenings.

The Night Market will feature local farmers with fruits, vegetables and natural meats, gardeners with fresh flowers and herbs and all sorts of edible home goods from desserts and breads to local raw honey and homemade sauces, jellies, and soaps.

Local artists will be featured monthly and live music will entertain at each Night Market.

The city is seeking vendors for this new concept that is expected to attract more than 500 at each event scheduled for May 8, June 19, July 10, Aug. 7, Sept. 11, and Oct. 9. Apply as a vendor: www.eventeny.com/events/The-Night-Market-407/.
