Mackenzie Kent looking for a face painter 😀
📣 2026 Market Season Updates:
• Vendor spaces will be a flat $25 non-refundable fee per event and space (rain or shine-Outdoor event!) — These fees will go directly toward space rental from Whites, advertising, social media event promotion, and some fun things we have planned this season!
• We of course will continue accepting small cottage bakeries 🍪 as usual — under the Michigan Cottage Law of course! However, after talking with Whites when booking the space for our market days, we have agreed to discontinue food trucks this year due to limited parking spaces, and they typically have market menu specials as well as their own special events during Blueberry week!
-Thankfully we are surrounded by some amazing local food and drink options all within decent or close walking distance:
🍔 Whites Streetside Tavern 🍻
☕ Dry Bones Coffee Company
🍭 Montrose Candy Company + ICECREAM! 🍦
🍕 M57 Pizza
Please remember to use the crosswalks when walking between businesses! 🚶♀️
New Market Schedule:
We’re switching things up a little this year to prevent vendor burnout!
Markets will still run 10am–3pm on Saturdays —but will now take place ONE Saturday per month (May–September). The FIRST Saturday of each month — aside from July, due to Independence Day! 🇺🇸
📅 2026 Market Days + Themes:
May 2 — Spring Fling Market | Mother’s Event 🌷
June 6 — KIDS DAY | Young Entrepreneurs Day 🤩 AKA Summer Kick Off! 🤩
July 11 — Red, White & Local Patriotic Day 🇺🇸
(Second Saturday due to Independence Day)
August 1 — Summer Days Sip N Shop ☀️ 🍻
🎊 Also Honey B’s Boutique ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY WEEKEND!
Sept 5 — End of Summer | Back to School Bash | KIDS DAY 🎒📚
NEW THIS YEAR - this was my 8 year old son’s idea! He calls it “Battle of the Booths!” 😅
*Notice: Each market day has a fun theme! Vendors are encouraged (but not required) to decorate their booths to match the theme!
We’ll have a community voting station at the host table, where shoppers, vendors, and volunteers can vote for:
🏆 Best Decorated | Most Fun Booth
The winner will receive a fun prize! 🤩
⭐️ We have 2 KIDS DAYS planned!!! One at the start of Summer, and another one at the end of Summer! -of course, kids are always welcome! 🤗
👏🏼 We are officially approved to utilize the side lot owned by Whites Streetside Tavern for the 2026 season which means…
