While buying and selling produce has traditionally been the primary focus at the Pee Dee State Farmers Market, more and more people have become interested in ornamental horticulture, so the Market now hosts spring and fall plant and flower festivals that attract visitors from all over the country.
Each spring, the Pee Dee Market hosts the Southern Plant and Flower Festival and each fall the Fall Plant and Flower Festival. The festivals have become annual pilgrimages for visitors from all over the state and nation. Some visitors plan their vacations around the events which feature a vast array of plants, flowers, and other gardening items for planting and lawn beautification.

The Southern Plant & Flower Festival is held the weekend after Easter each year. Hundreds of exhibitors are present, combining the best in horticulture and agriculture products for the home and garden. Food concessions, some arts & crafts, mostly plants, flowers, lawn and garden décor and equipment are among the items you will find.

The Fall Plant & Flower Festival is the first full weekend (Fri, Sat, and Sun) in October each year. Beautiful fall colors adorn the Market landscape including pumpkins, mums and a variety of fall decorations. Also on hand are fresh fall produce and festival treats.
