The Indie Market is a place where local artists and crafts people can come together for an Open Air Market of handmade and vintage goodness. We are located at the corner of South Elm & MLK in Downtown Greensboro. Each Market takes place on the first Friday of every month (April through December) from 4pm - 9pm.

9 More Days Til the May Market
Wow! Time sure has flown this month. I can't believe we're already in the countdown until the May Market. 9 more days and it'll be here!!!
We have plenty in store for all of the folks who grace us with their welcomed presence. =) We have some awesome new vendors for you this month, as well as some of your Indie Market favorites. We even have a Caricature Artist coming out... a first for the Market. We're totally excited about all of the wonderful and talented vendors we have, so please be sure to come out and show them your support.
Our local musicians for this month are:
Serendipity The eclectic Jazz/Folk duo of Alison Perkins & Jeremy Wood. They will be playing from 5:30pm - 7:00pm.
Rob Disner from TV Yellow An Indie Rock group who's members are Rob Disner, Kevin Cox, Ron Moore & Curt Meinhold. You'll remember Rob as the singer/guitarist from last months market. He (or they) will play from 7:00pm - 9:00pm.
If you would like to help us get posters up and pass out cards, please contact us at firstfridaymarkets@gmail.com. They're at the printer now and should be ready by the end of the week. Mandy and I cover the downtown Greensboro area pretty well, but if we can get some volunteers to put them up in other locations around Greensboro, Kernersville, Burlington, High Point, Browns Summit, etc. we would really appreciate it.
If you're on our Vendor Mailing List, you'll be receiving the June Vendor Application by email around the 1st of May. If you're just too excited about participating and can't wait that long, the App is already up here on the blog. Just click on the Vendor Application tab at the top of the page.
We'll see ya next week!

Help!
ReplyDeleteI was at the Indie Market around 7pm Friday night - I saw a vendor that had a little sundress made of an old pillow case that caught my eye. I told the girl at the table that the dress was made from the same pattern of sheets my parents had growing up.
I'm kicking myself for not buying this dress! I can not stop thinking of how cute it was and would really like to contact the seller.
I did not get a card and do not recall the name of the girl but would really love to contact her about the item. I know that the tent was sitting towards the back row of the market -- facing the entrance from Elm Street.
Can anyone help? Would love to have a vendor map online for First Fridays.
Hi Teresa,
ReplyDeleteI would love to help you find the vendor that had that dress! We only had 4 vendors at the back where the music was, so it was either Shannon with My Fair Frock (Vintage) or River with River Basin Outfitters (Recycled Handmade Clothing). I will send an email to both of them and have them contact you through the blog. Or, if you'd like, send us your email address at firstfridaymarkets@gmail.com and I'll have them contact you directly.
Thanks, Teresa!
