Shops & Makers
Independent shops keep their own hours. Check the official Shop page for the current lineup, and watch the calendar for markets that bring visiting vendors.
Markets vs. shops
Market vendors appear for specific events; permanent shops are tenants. We label event-only vendors separately so you are not disappointed on a regular day.
