Kick Off Spring With Local Creativity

The Purple Paisley Artisan Market returns this May, bringing fresh energy, spring color, and community spirit to Covington’s historic Scott Street corridor. Join us on Saturday, May 16th from 10 AM to 3 PM for a joyful open-air celebration of local makers, handcrafted goods, and the creative culture that defines our region.

This market offers the perfect mix of artistry and neighborhood charm. Visitors can browse original paintings, handmade jewelry, ceramics, home décor, wellness products, baked goods, textiles, and more. Every item is crafted by local hands, and every artist brings a story worth discovering. You’ll meet makers, learn about their process, and find pieces that feel personal and meaningful.

Explore Covington While You’re Here

The market is only steps away from Purple Paisley, Local Artisan Shop, home to more than 75 local artists throughout the year. Stop inside to discover even more handcrafted work, seasonal items, classes, and gallery offerings.

Make a day of your visit by exploring Covington’s beloved local spots. Enjoy a coffee from Left Bank, grab lunch at Coppins or Agave & Rye, or relax at The Globe or Braxton Brewery after your shopping. Take a moment to stroll past the Cathedral Basilica or wander toward nearby Baker Hunt for more inspiration.
