Why You Should Attend

This isn’t your typical shopping day. The market atmosphere is lively, social, and family-friendly. Grab a snack from a food vendor, chat with artisans about their process, and maybe even take home a new favorite item. It’s a great way to enjoy your Thursday with purpose and pleasure. - Discover New Favorites
You may come in for a candle and walk away with locally made chocolates, a hand-thrown ceramic mug, and a business card from your new favorite skincare brand. It’s the perfect place to stumble upon unexpected treasures. - Connect with Your Community
