There’s no place like Brattleboro for the holidays! For its second year, presented by Downtown Brattleboro Alliance & Brattleboro Flea, Market on Main will pop-up at 74 Main Street in Downtown Brattleboro. The 7000 square ft storefront on Main Street, will reawaken to host 60+ regional artisan makers over the three weekends this December.
You can expect a dozen lit evergreens, twinkle lights throughout, and the faint smell of freshly popped popcorn, a nod to Sam’s. This destination market features handmade wares like pottery, jewelry, prints, woodcraft, herbal goods, clothing, fiber arts, and visual art from rotating vendors each weekend. Brattleboro specific merchandise will be available for purchase. The market will also host a variety of food vendors. Market on Main creates a seasonal destination for folks to travel to Downtown Brattleboro, and fills a hugely impactful vacant storefront-it occupies nearly an entire block on Main Street. Join us this holiday at the market starting Friday, Dec. 3rd during Brattleboro’s Gallery Walk.
“Seeing this historic space lit and buzzing with commerce and people is a dream come true, especially during the holiday season. We hope it sparks a feeling-part nostalgia, part hope, that wonderful things are possible in this space. The magic we felt last season-camaraderie amongst the vendors, the excitement of consumers, the twinkly enchanted market vibes, we knew we had o do it again! We’re thrilled to support these businesses-each of these artisans are a small business, churning with creativity and impact. Their talent is inspiring and supporting them feels important” – Erin Scaggs, Creative Director/Downtown Brattleboro Alliance
“We are extremely excited to participating in Market on Main again this year in collaboration with Downtown Brattleboro Alliance. Having access to this incredible storefront space in the heart of our downtown has dramatically elevated our visibility and has had a hugely positive economic impact for our makers. The size of the space allows us to increase the number of vendors we can include in the market and create a real destination holiday shopping experience for our customers. It was truly a magical event last year and we can’t wait to do it again this December!” – Julia Tadlock, Founder/Brattleboro Flea
