Sweet Auburn Curb Market

Activity Overview

The history of the Sweet Auburn Curb Market stretches back to the Great Atlanta Fire of 1917. Following the destruction the devastating fire caused in the city center farmers would gather to sell their produce in an open air market. Eventually a permanent brick building was built and ever since then the market has served as a favorite among people from Atlanta for its high quality foods and distinct local flavor. When it was initially set up the market was subject to segregation laws meaning that black people could only sell their products on the curb outside. Today however the market is a symbol for Atlanta's extraordinary cultural diversity with African-American, Afro-Caribbean, South American and Asian vendors all selling their mouth-watering delights!
