Community Markets: Inclusive Shopping & Vendors

Inclusive. Local. Community-Driven.

Markets have always been a place to gather, discover and support. At Elle and the City, we believe in creating meaningful experiences that bring people together – and our community-driven markets are just that!

These markets are a mix of local vendors offering food, fashion, home goods, art, wellness, and services. Whether youโ€™re a first-time vendor or an established business, this is your space to shine.

Why Community Markets Matter

In an age of online shopping and big box stores, itโ€™s more important than ever to support the people building businesses in our own neighborhoods. When you buy from a vendor at a community market, you’re:

  • Supporting someone’s dream
  • Investing in the local economy
  • Building personal connections
  • Experiencing your city in a meaningful way

Markets are about more than what you take home in a bag โ€” they’re about the stories, the conversations, and the inspiration you carry with you.
