About the market 

Markets on Main is an outdoor market held almost 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. 


We are leaning towards more of a flea-style treasure- hunt market for this season. Vintage racks, second hand finds and handmade goods at accessible price points, things you can dog through with a coffee in hand. This is a free to the public, walk through style market where people come to browse, discover and leave with some fun affordable finds. 


If you are a vendor with:

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! We found that items in lower to mid price ranges tended to perform best last season. 



Booth Pricing

We offer a tiered pricing structure based on vendor type and booth size. 

. Booth sizes are 10'x10' or 6'X6' and can be booked for a single date or multiple dates (select dates in the form below).

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. Bricks or racks are not a sufficient or safe weight for a tent. You must have sand bags 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.
