Vendors this month
This season we're doing things a little differently. As you know, summers are extra busy for small businesses on Cape Cod. In order to enjoy a much needed break, some of our vendors will participate every other week while others will be there every week. We're splitting the markets each month into A weeks and B weeks so that you know who to expect each time you visit.
Tips to get the most out of each market:
We have a mix of new and returning vendors. New vendors are noted below. Be sure to check them out!
Some vendors will be available at a limited number of markets. These vendors are indicated with an asterisk (*). We want you to know so you don't miss them.
