Joplin Empire Market Hobbit Day
September 19, 2026 10:00 AM –2:00 PM
The market will be filled with lots of magical goodies to celebrate all things Tolkien. We also have the Chert Glades Master Naturalists out in the community gardens, along with a special scavenger hunt and the baby goat for photos. The Empire Market is a four-season city market that combines farm fresh goodness, hand-crafted products, community gardens and local gourmet food, all in one location that is easily accessible to the Joplin community. Customers can shop for their weekly groceries, find unique gifts, enjoy live music and a meal, all within the market’s laid back atmosphere. Open 10am-2pm, every Saturday.
