Your Invitation to the MAX Marketplace
Here for the fourth year in a row, MAX Marketplace is one of the most popular (and one of our favorite) attractions at the MAX Community Pavilion, and you’ll soon see why. Featuring 28 pop-ups from local artists and speakers alike, Marketplace is more than your average art fair. You won’t want to miss the chance to get your hands on some incredible merchandise, straight from your fellow creators.
Mark your schedules for 9:30 am to 4:00 pm on Wednesday, November 6th in the MAX Community Pavilion (don’t forget your badge). Be sure to give yourself plenty of time to peruse all the shops and get some face time with the artists!
