Designed for the whole family

An afternoon you actually enjoy, all of you.

Dreamers Markets started in 2021 with one goal — make a small business event that worked for the people who came, not just the people running it. That meant kids welcome, strollers welcome, dogs welcome, picnic blankets welcome. It meant free, every time, so families could come whether they were spending or just looking.

Five years later that's still how we run every market. The food trucks bring snacks the kids actually eat. The maker booths bring jewelry and ceramics for the adults plus stickers and plushies for the kids. The aisles are wide enough for double strollers. The dogs make friends. The grandparents find chairs in the shade.
