From week to week, the Food Cart Fest will be complimented by a series of community markets. The kickoff event will be curated by Jamie Leah Gill of Moonrock vintage clothing and jewelry. Over 50 vendors will be on hand to sell vintage and original clothing, accessories, art, jewelry, and home decor. Upcoming summer market will include a vintage market curated by The Chosen Ones, a farmers and artisan market, an outdoor book and comic sale, and more.
