Market Details
The Maker's Path Market is a unique hybrid indoor & outdoor market where visitors can shop handmade goods, enjoy delicious food and explore vendors set both inside and along a scenic looping path. This market creates a relaxed browsing experience that blends indoor shopping with an inviting outdoor setting.
The outdoor portion of the market follows a wide, well maintained looping stone chip path surrounded by trees, creating a natural atmosphere for both vendors and visitors.
We are currently seeking a mix of artisans, makers, growers and food vendors offering products that visitors can enjoy while exploring the market or take home with them. Some vendor categories we are looking for include, but are not limited to:
Handmade Goods: Hand crafted candles & soaps, bath & body products, self care items, jewelry, home décor, art, stationery, pottery, authors, woodwork and other handmade goods.
Interactive Experiences: Face painting, balloon animals, nail bar, charm bar, henna etc.
Plants & Floral: Local growers offering vibrant plants, herbs, flowers and floral designers with fresh or dried arrangements.
Food Vendors: local honey, jams & jellies, preserves, spices, baked goods, sweets and refreshing drinks to enjoy at the market or to take home.
We have limited space available for one food truck. Food truck vendors must be fully self sufficient and able to operate without access to electricity.
**As this market is intended for local artists and makers, we will not be accepting any direct sales, MLMs or resellers.
