Empowering Local Businesses, Strengthening Community Commerce

In today’s challenging economic landscape, small businesses, entrepreneurs, and artisans often struggle to gain consistent visibility, foot traffic, and sustainable sales. The Gem City Vendors Market was created to eliminate these barriers by providing a fixed, high-traffic location for vendors to showcase their products and services every weekend from April through September.

📍 Location: 333 Salem Ave, directly across from Gem City Market
📅 When: Friday–Sunday | 11:30 AM – 7:30 PM
🎟 Free Entry for the Public

The Gem City Vendors Market is not just another event—it’s an ecosystem designed to help businesses thrive. By offering affordable booth spaces (indoor & outdoor), high visibility, and a structured promotional platform, we ensure vendors can engage with customers, build their brand, and drive sales consistently.

✔ Supports Small & Local Businesses – Many entrepreneurs lack the resources for premium retail space or strong marketing. This market provides a cost-effective, high-traffic platform to connect with customers.

✔ Encourages Economic Growth – By creating a consistent and accessible weekend marketplace, we help businesses generate steady revenue, attract loyal customers, and expand their brand presence.

✔ Enhances Community Engagement – More than a sales venue, The Gem City Vendors Market is a hub for networking, collaboration, and business growth. Vendors and customers alike can connect, share resources, and support local commerce.

✔ Innovative Business Exposure – Every vendor receives live-streamed interviews, video promotions, and digital exposure across our media platforms—expanding their visibility beyond the event itself.
