About this event
Fifty-plus vendors fill 28,000 square feet of the Congress Plaza Hotel with everything from local makers and LGBTQ+-owned businesses to art, fashion, crafts, and goods you won't find anywhere else. It's the kind of market where you actually discover something — not just browse, but find your next favorite thing. Perfect for a Friday afternoon of shopping, supporting community, and seeing what's new.
