New Orleans Most Interesting Market

New Orleans artists and crafters are gearing up for the city’s “most interesting market”- Freret Market! Saturday, June 4 (tomorrow) catch your favorite NOLA crafters and artists from 12pm-5pm near the corner of Napolean and Freret.

I particularly love this market as 3 of my favorite things in life are sold there: food, art, and flea market items (which are always great for repurposing!) The day also includes live music…lots of live music…because let’s not forget- this is New Orleans! Tomorrow will be my third time participating in the Freret market as a vendor and one of the characteristics I have enjoyed is watching the market rapidly grow over such a short span of time. The momentum of the team that leads the market is incredible. Freret now boasts 80+ vendors with a waiting list! I (and my business partner in crime Jeremy) are honored to be among so many local talents. The camaraderie formed between repeat vendors is priceless.

Markets such as this are a huge reminder to everyone in our city about how important it is to shop local.

Mark your calendar to attend. Tomorrow will be the last Freret market until September. (Although we’re hitting record high temps now, July and August typically get even hotter!) And drop by our booth (SHULTZILLA) and say hi :)

Keep it cheeky!
