District 2012 Back Alley Market, is a seasonal outdoor marketplace celebrating emerging entrepreneurs from our community. From artisanal candles and soap to fresh baked goods and handmade wares, every event will feature an exciting and diverse range of local vendors. Another goal is to provide start-up food entrepreneurs with an entry point into the industry by providing a venue where vendors and food truck operators can serve customers. Our overall goal is layered, we want to not only let our venue grow successfully but provide a place where entrepreneurs can grow and mature their products.
Public Marketplaces can become the heart and soul of a community, and our Back Alley Market has the potential to become just that for Seymour Square neighborhood and business district. By creating this centerpiece for community life, it will bring together residents and different groups, exposing them to distinct interaction, renewing community spirit, and redeveloping public places by producing an open marketplace that promotes interaction and encourages social and economic activity for all ages and abilities.
