We are excited to welcome vendors selling imported and locally made goods, plus local organizations and more.

• Payment options differ from vendor to vendor, though cash and Venmo are common options. Please check back on this page for the latest updates on accepted forms of payment. Please note: There is no ATM on site. Some vendors do accept card and/or Apple Pay, but please bring cash if you wish to visit all the vendors!
