This year marks Capitol Market’s “Silver” Anniversary. We've had this amazing market for 25 years! 



Capitol Market’s annual fundraiser, Market Mixer, was held on Oct. 5, from 6 p.m. until 8 p.m. at Capitol Market in downtown Charleston!



It was an amazing evening that showcased why Capitol Market is a true gem in our capital city.



Proceeds benefit Capitol Market and help sustain the historic property and continue our mission of supporting small businesses, lifting up local farmers, and creating a community space for all.



There were drinks, hors d’oeuvres from Chef Paul Smith and the culinary students from Carver Career & Technical Center, live music, vendors giving away samples and doing demonstrations, and more.
