An open air market on King Street will highlight the cultural diversity of Johnson City with food, art and more.
King Mercado, at 111 E. King St., will have 15 spaces for vendors and four to five food trucks. Two of the food trucks will be staples that will remain in the market, while the vendors and three of the food trucks will rotate in and out. There will also be outdoor seating and a place for dogs to hang out.
The market, which will sit on the roof of a warehouse building across from Good Samaritan Ministries, will hold a soft opening on June 3-5. The grand opening will occur the following week. The market will be open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday through Sunday. Some vendors may be there for the full day, but others may swap out as the day goes on.
Downtown Sweet, a popular chocolate and dessert shop in downtown Jonesborough, is leaving its storefront and going mobile — with a home base in central Johnson City.
