The Market at Pepper Place will mark its 20th birthday with today’s Drive-Thru Market.

It’s a major milestone for what has become a Birmingham Saturday institution that has found a way to continue to operate during a global pandemic.

The Market at Pepper Place held its first market June 10, 2000 with seven farmers, Continental Bakery, an information tent, live music and a cooking demonstration. It grew to become a destination for many on Saturday mornings that filled not only the parking lot at the Pepper Place complex but surrounding streets and a portion of the parking lot at the Martin Biscuit Company building. Crowds also grew. Other markets in the Birmingham region and throughout the state followed.
