2026 Market Season is Here!

We're doing markets a little differently around here this year!

Instead of large, overwhelming spaces, we're planning smaller, thoughtfully curated markets built around a clear theme so every event feels intentional, immersive, and fun to explore! Each market will be designed with only one vendor of each type, giving you something new to discover at every single booth! 

Plus, interactive elements, hands-on activities, and little suprises and giveaways will help make our spaces more than a place to shop, but a place to linger, connect, and be a part of something special!
