THE SETTING

Covered 10x10 Stalls on Artificial Turf

Stall rentals provide a covered 10x10-foot area sited on artificial turf; because of the turf surface, absolutely no stakes may be inserted into the ground.

THE AMENITIES

Essentials in Place—No Power, Restrooms, Nearby Parking

The site offers restrooms, ADA accessibility and parking roughly 50 feet away, but there is no power available at individual vendor spaces.

THE RULES

Simple Ground Rules Keep the Market Safe

Spaces are limited and reserved in advance; vendors must bring their own tables and chairs. Prohibitions include glass containers and alcohol, smoking or vaping, fireworks or confetti, and attaching decorations to trees.

What the day feels like

What it Feels Like to Set Up Here

The experience is straightforward and focused: reserve a 10x10 covered site, arrive prepared with your own table and chair setup, and operate inside a compact, accessible footprint designed for community interaction and safe, low-impact vending.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this site works best for—and who should plan differently.

1
Independent Makers & CraftersWell suited: individuals selling physical goods who can arrive with their own tables and displays and do not require on-site power; spaces are limited and reserved ahead of time.
2
Small Retail BusinessesA good match for businesses seeking a visible, walk-up presence in the community provided they can operate without power and comply with the site rules and reservation limits.
3
Community Organizations & OutreachAppropriate for outreach and information tables given ADA access, nearby parking, and restrooms—organizations should plan for a self-contained setup and reserve space in advance.
4
Vendors Requiring Power or Large InstallationsNot ideal: the site has no power at vendor spaces and sits on artificial turf that disallows staking, so elaborate booths or powered equipment are restricted.
