what to know
A little history…
Our mission to to provide a consistent platform for Charlotte and the surrounding area’s micro-retailers to sell products to the Charlotte consumer, to provide continued support and resources to businesses who work with Front Porch Sundays, and to grow the Front Porch Sundays brand as a organization of incubation, community, and local support.
Front Porch Sundays was the dream of Terry Shook of Shook Kelley. He felt his property, in the heart of South End, was underutilized on the weekends. He imagined a Sunday event where banjos were playing, coffee and mimosas were flowing, and newspapers were in the hands of everyone in attendance. Since his original plan, Front Porch Sundays has organically grown to host 70+ local businesses in an open air market. On the first Sunday of April - December you can find multiple food trucks, mobile shops, live music, and fun happenings at Atherton!
