Here’s the great thing about artisan markets and pops ups, there are quite a few of them, and that’s where we come in. Market Season started with the love of these spaces because we realized that it was a great chance for local entrepreneurs to shine. There was so much happening in those spaces that we wanted to tell more people about it.
While 2020 forced us to adjust to a new reality – ‘the new normal’, it also forced us to find alternative ways to make the best of the situation we found ourselves in. This is what we found, artisan markets and pop spaces represented- a bloom in support of local!
These spaces allow local businesses to thrive and as an extension of our calendar, we saw it fit to create a listing of existing markets and pop-up organizers as well as a few local artisan-based shops, for anyone to browse. It’s one thing to have them listed in our calendar but when you go through the year you realize that there are so many more markets that come up. Some are dedicated to hosting throughout the year, while others move differently. Market Season is always going to be a bit exciting. In any case, keep an eye on this list, it’s bound to look a little different from time to time once we continue to update.
These events usually go throughout the entire year and can include special carnival markets, Emancipation day, holidays and Christmas markets. most of these listed here are dedicated to hosting market events and some would have been introduced last year.
