An all-new market to celebrate Earth Day, the SM&NC’s 90th and the USA’s 250th!
Take a trip back in time with our vintage vendors to uncover or upcycle one-of-a-kind treasures! Shop the varied wares of eco-friendly vendors to lower your footprint while supporting local businesses. Don’t miss the opportunity for some true Spring cleaning — we’ll provide the means by which to recycle a number of items, including towels, eyeglasses, textiles, office supplies and more, so it’s time to get decluttering! Plus, stop by to make your own recycled paper to take home (10am-12pm). We’ll also have free veggie seed packets to take home to grown your own plants this summer!
