On Saturdays from May to October, the Fenton Street Market transforms Veterans Plaza in downtown Silver Spring into a bustling marketplace. Over 60 local vendors a week showcase their wares: original artwork, handmade and imported crafts, antiques, jewelry, furniture, vintage clothing, unique services such as acupuncture and henna tattoos, and much more. Weekly community programming includes: live music, art demos, community conversations, joke contests and more.
A Benefit Corporation owned and operated by local Silver Spring residents, Fenton Street Market invigorates the local economy by providing a venue for locally-owned businesses to connect directly with customers. Last year, 75,000 neighbors visited the market, contributing over $1.4 million to the local economy. Additionally, FSM serves as a community gathering spot and holds roundtables, performances, workshops, and classes on a weekly basis.
To make the market a viable opportunity for new vendors, FSM offers: a reasonable booth rental rate, tent rentals, free internet exposure and marketing through our website and social media outlets, an umbrella insurance policy, and help filing for a temporary sales tax identification number.
In 2012, the market will run every Saturday beginning on April 28, ending on October 27, from 10:00am - 4:00pm.
