When Heritage week rolls around each year, Hilton Head Island celebrates with a spirit that is truly one of a kind.

The monthly First Thursdays Art Market and the weekly, seasonal Farmers & Makers Market have both awakened to more color, more life than ever with the coming of Spring.

Beginning its eighth season, the Farmers & Makers Market presents more fresh, local produce, more seafood, more breads and cheeses, and more crafts and artisans than ever before.

The decision to add more color to the sun-kissed plaza of The Shops at Sea Pines Center traces back to the founder’s original vision for Sea Pines.
