The Metuchen Downtown Alliance is excited to host its largest Spring Bazaar to date on Saturday May 21st from 11am to 4pm at the Metuchen Town Plaza. This year we're excited to have some new and exciting businesses join us as we celebrate small business owners as we encourage the community to Shop Small and Support Local. 

Of note is a mobile bar, Pop & Fizz Mobile owned by Daniella Valles: "This husband and wife team fell in love with the idea of a mobile bar while wedding planning. They officially launched in 2021 and hope to help others celebrate life's special moments. Their converted tap truck can support anything from prosecco to margaritas and much more." 

This year's vendors include homemade jewelry, soy candles, gourmet butter, apparel, homewares, skincare lines and more. We're excited to continue this special, annual event showcasing even more small business owners in and around our community. 

Next Tuesday we'll have our quarterly Member Meeting at Suite Metuchen starting at 7:30pm. MDA's Innovation Team is going to share some cutting-edge insights on how businesses can use technology to drive sales. Then we're going to announce $10,000 of matching grants to help implement some of these concepts. We're also going to have guests including partners from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority and Middlesex County NJ Government. MDA Teams including Promotion, Communications, Public Art, Innovation, and Storefront - will all be giving updates on their work to promote understanding across the organization. And Be My Guest is providing snacks. The ribbon cutting will for Suite Metuchen will take place at 7:15pm for those who want to welcome this new business downtown. Please RSVP here.
