What should I bring and expect?
We have a full lot of vendors, so be sure to bring your own bag, water, sunscreen, and you excitement! There will be a variety of vendors in the area, and live music as well.
Why did the market move from Water Street?
Due to new restrictions in place, large cement bollards must be placed on the street for closure for the safety of event attendees and vendors. These bollards are cost-prohibitive to hosting a weekly event. This new location keeps the market close to Water Street and Downtown Excelsior, while keep our participants and vendors safe.
