🚨 CALLING ALL VENDORS—MAKE A SPLASH! 🌊

Dip Your Toes In—Then Dive Into Sales—Now Booking Vendors.”

If you’re a people person who loves connecting, creating, and selling, our Pop-Up Space is the perfect place to make waves. Set against a vibrant waterfront backdrop, this is your opportunity to showcase your product.

Our Pop-Up Space is available on a weekly basis—making it a flexible, low-commitment way to grow your brand, expand your customer base, and gain valuable exposure.

What We Offer:

Exposure to both local traffic and seasonal visitors.

A well-located, highly visible retail space on the waterfront.

Flexible weekly rental terms.

A supportive, curated retail environment designed to help vendors succeed.

How It Works:

Vendors arrive on Sunday to set up in the Pop-Up Space, so you're fully prepared for the upcoming week.

We provide a table for your products, a table for your point-of-sale (P.O.S.) system, a slat wall for hanging items, and display cubes to showcase your merchandise effectively.

Our goal is to make setup seamless—so you can focus on what matters most: selling your products and engaging with customers throughout your booking.

If this sounds like you—or something you want to be part of—reach out today at [email protected] and let’s get you set up at the waterfront!
