Frequently Asked Questions.

Can I Bring my Pet?

As a trial for the 2024 season, we are allowing dogs at both of our outdoor market locations. If you are bringing your pet to the market, please remember the following rules:

1. Keep dogs out of vendor stalls, especially under tables where vendor items are stored.

2. Stay away from food samples, customer bags, and table surfaces.

3. Watch your dog at all times. You must keep your dog under control or we will ask you to leave the Market.

4. Keep your dog on a short leash at all times. Long leashes are a safety and tripping hazard.

5. Keep your pet hydrated and clean up after them.

6. Be respectful of everyone wishing to enjoy the Market. Not all customers are dog lovers.

7. Any damage to vendor tents or products caused by a dog will be the responsibility of the dog owner.

*This policy is subject to change, following a review of the 2024 season.
