Any artist friends want to join us at Second Saturday Community Market this weekend?? They have a vendor opening!

You can also join us tonight at Open Studio with Ashley from 6-8:30.

The Meadville Council on the Arts Photography Club meets from 6-8 in the studio tonight as well!

☀️ This month, our market will extend all the way up Chestnut St- from Mulberry St to the Diamond! We have 35 artisan vendors and community organizations participating, music from Paul Groh and Optimistic Apocalypse, the Confections of a Cake Lover treat trailer, games and outdoor art, and balloons by Magic Steve! It’s going to be a beautiful day in Downtown Meadville!

🚗 The best places to park are up at the Diamond, the DEP lot, or the Downtown Mall. We know it means a bit of walking, but it’ll be worth it!

‼️ We had one last minute vendor cancellation today- if you know anyone (artisan vendors, face painter, community organizations wanting to share what they do) who might be interested in getting in on the market, tag them or tell them to email [email protected]! We’d love to fill the spot!
