About the market

Markets on Main is an outdoor market held every Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., running from June through October. We’re located in Minneapolis's historic Saint Anthony Main neighborhood, in front of the Riverplace building and next to the Aster House on SE Main Street. The market features a rotating mix of handmade goods, vintage items, flowers, art, and more. Please know we will not have a market July 5th.

We’re leaning toward a flea-style treasure hunt market this season—featuring vintage racks, secondhand finds, and handmade goods at accessible price points. It’s the kind of place you can dig through with a coffee in hand. This will be a free, walk-through market where people can browse, discover, and leave with fun, affordable finds.

Vendors:

All vendors are welcome to participate. From vendor feedback last season, we found that items in the lower to mid price ranges tended to perform best at this market. Vintage, thrifted, re-worked, hand made (especially under $40), curiosities, records, plants, books or anything a little fun and unexpected - we'd love to have you!

Unfortunately our contract does not allow us to have coffee/matcha vendors. Please do not apply as we will have to refund you minus the CC processing fees.

Important things to know:

Please be set up and ready to open by 10 am.
Please set up right next to the vendor next to you (rather than leave 2’-3’ spaces between tents.
Please do not spread out your inventory in the space next to you. We almost always need every space, so please keep everything in or in front of your space while setting up.
If you have a tent, all four legs must be weighed down securely with 20 lbs on each leg or you will not be able to use it, as it's a big safety hazard with wind. This market is by the river, so it may be quite windy at times. Racks are not a sufficient or safe weight for a tent. You must have sand bags, tied cement blocks or tent weights. You will not be allowed to use your tent without weights, it is just too dangerous. It's a good idea to also pack bungee cords and/or rope to help from clothing racks tipping over.
We do not supply tents or tables. Please bring your own.
We will supply changing tents/pop-up dressing rooms.
We do not have electricity on site.
Booths are first come, first serve, but please check in with Dana or Sally about where to go when you arrive. If we have more than one vendor of the same trade, we will try to place you in a spot not right next to each other.
Bathrooms: you can use the bathrooms in the same building as FRGMNT coffee (43 SE Main St.) behind Aster House.
Weather: if we need to cancel due to weather (high winds, heavy rain, lightning), we will let you know by Friday and you can either request a refund (minus a $10 processing fee), or reschedule to a future date.
You are welcome to use the chairs on site, but we ask you put them back where you found them at breakdown.
