We are excited to host this year’s Gala at Market Hall; a full-service wedding and event venue nestled in the heart of downtown Raleigh’s Moore Square District. The Historic venue is surrounded by the cobblestone streets and the shining lights of City Market. In 1914, Market Hall was purchased by Contractor Jesse G. Adams, who hired Architect James Matthew Kennedy to create a Spanish Mission style landmark to host the city’s first Farmers’ Market. It was the first integrated market that brought together shoppers from Historic Black Main Street (Hargett Street), city center, and surrounding counties.

For over 40 years afterward, farmers from Eastern North Carolina would come by truck or horse-drawn buggy to set up shop along the cobblestone streets under the eaves of the building. In the white building behind Market Hall there was a blacksmith shop and horse stables to repair wagon wheels and horseshoes. In the 60’s-late 80’s the venue was sold and repurposed as a furniture store, until it was turned into Greenshields Brewery in 1989, becoming one of the first 50 craft breweries in the United States. The property became a primarily event-oriented venue in 2009 and has been renovating for improvement ever since.

Right outside of their front door is the iconic Moore square–home to various restaurants, interactive water features, and large landscaped lawns that feature family-friendly activities and community events. Additionally, Market Hall is 7 Minute Walk to Three Major Hotels on Fayetteville Street & Downtown Raleigh City Center.  Take a stroll under the oak trees, enjoy the atmosphere, and come together in November to keep this venues history flowing!
