Everything you need to know before joining us at the market.

 

When is the Market?

Our first market will take place on Saturday, May 24, 2025 (Memorial Day Weekend)

This is a bi-monthly event, so if you can’t make it to the first one—don’t worry! We’ll be back with more dates to come.

Where is it held?

The market takes place on the beautiful, historic grounds of The Steward Hotel in Goleta, CA. Nestled between mature trees and native landscaping, the event is located in The Enchanted Forest—a peaceful outdoor space right in the front of the property.

Guests can expect to walk along a mix of dirt paths and paved walkways, so we recommend wearing comfortable, outdoor-friendly shoes. The hotel itself is a reimagined 1920s estate with a deep connection to the area’s horticultural history, offering a naturally scenic and thoughtfully preserved backdrop for the market.

What can I expect?

Our market is more than just shopping—it’s a space for creativity, connection, and discovery.

You’ll find:

  • A curated lineup of vintage curators, artists, makers, and small businesses

  • Handcrafted goods, ceramics, jewelry, art, homewares, and wellness products

  • Delicious food vendors and specialty drinks

  • Live speakers, readers/storytime, and musical performances throughout the day

  • Interactive experiences like yoga, breathwork, and other wellness offerings

Come ready to explore, engage, and take in the energy of a truly community-centered experience. Each event will bring something new, so no two markets will be exactly the same.

The market is free and open to the public, and all ages are welcome. Expect a relaxed, community-focused vibe with something for everyone.

Is there parking?

We’ll have clear signage and staff on-site to help guide you. More details will be posted closer to the event date.

Are pets allowed?
