Description:
The Blacksburg Farmers Market continues their regular farmers market with live music from Velvet Spruce on Saturday, August 9, 2025 at Market Square Park.

The Blacksburg Farmers Market offers local meats, organic produce, baked goods, crafts, flowers and more in the heart of downtown Blacksburg! Support your local farmers and artists and enjoy the benefits of a strengthened community, healthy living, and support for responsible business practices.

Velvet Spruce will perform from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

Velvet Spruce hails from Giles county, Virginia where they started their musical journey as a father-daughter duo in a now defunct speakeasy. Playing “mellow and smooth spruced-up tuneage” covering songs from the 1930s to the 2020s in a mellow, unique fashion, with an occasional original thrown in for good measure, is what they love to do.

Haley Hansen Jones, a recent Virginia Tech graduate with a bachelor’s degree in vocal performance and a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction, provides lead vocals and some rhythm guitar. Haley is also the new choral program director at Blacksburg High School. Haley’s father, Chris Hansen, loves everything guitar and is known to proudly wear a t-shirt stating “just because I can’t sing doesn’t mean I won’t.” A true statement on at least one count. Haley’s husband, Noah Jones, was “volunteered” to keep things in the groove on cajon — and that he does well.

The Blacksburg Farmers Market is open every Saturday April through October from 8:00 AM until 2:00 PM at Market Square Park in downtown Blacksburg, VA. The Wednesday Market is open from April through November from 2:00-6:00 PM. From November-December, the Saturday hours change to 9:00 AM until 2:00 PM. From January-March, the Saturday hours change to 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM.

Market Square Park is located at 100 Draper Road in Blacksburg, VA.
