CIAO KNOX MERCATO | Italian Market Series

Join your fellow Italians and lovers of Italy at The Plaid Apron in Sequoyah Hills for a savory Sunday afternoon for our second annual CIAO KNOX MERCATO Pop-up Italian Market series.

This special mercato is dedicated to "Festa del Sol" in celebration of the kick-off of the Summer Season. Whether you're headed to Italy this Summer or looking to bring an Italian-feel to your Summer season, join us at the mercato so we can kick-off the Summer together.

During the event, you can sip and shop your way around the mercato located in the parking lot in front of Plaid Apron and Sequoyah Realty. BIG THANKS to Rich and Angie Tierney for their kind hospitality to make this event a reality, by providing the venue to bring our local Italian community together.
