Merchantile Market Sponsorship Package - February 13, 2027

Become a Market Sponsor!

Thank you for your interest in Merchantile Market!

Sponsoring our market is a powerful way to showcase your brand's commitment to community engagement while connecting directly with thousands of shoppers in an energetic, high-traffic environment.

Our sponsorship opportunities are designed to provide strong visibility while aligning with your business goals — whether you're looking to build brand awareness, generate leads, or deepen your presence in the local community.

If you are a local service-based business with limited physical products, or if your offerings do not primarily fall within original or handmade goods, we encourage you to apply for our Sponsor Package.

With anticipated attendance of 5,000–13,000 visitors across the weekend, this is a valuable opportunity to put your brand directly in front of an engaged, market-loving audience.
