If you follow me on Instagram, you have likely heard that I’m moving to California in two short weeks. Before I fly off for this exciting new adventure, I wanted to leave you all with my list of the best 2022 upcoming art markets and events.
Vendors—keep these on your radar! Shoppers—you have to check these out!
June 11th- PVDfest
This free outdoor festival in downtown Providence, RI will have the streets filled with artists, performers, live music, food, and fun. This is quirky burp’s very last east coast market we will be attending before our move, making it extra special! This is one you absolutely don’t want to miss.
12-6PM in Downtown Providence, Rhode Island
Finish your pride month off with one or both of these awesome Pride Festivals:
June 18th Providence RI Pride Festival
June 26th NYC Pridefest Street Fair
July 8th-10th Levitate Music and Arts Festival in Marshfield, MA
I have never attended this event before, but I had been planning to before I knew I was moving. Someone go for me! It sounds like so much fun!
For my vegans out there!
July 15th-16th Atlantic City Vegan Food Festival, New Jersey
July 23rd Compassionfest, Connecticut
Aug 25th-28th Sunflower Farm Festival in Holden, MA
This event looks wholesome and fun for a smaller local vibe. I have some vendor friends attending, so I know the art will be cool!
Salvage Angel Spotlight Saturdays
For select Saturdays throughout the year this amazing vintage store hosts outdoor markets. Market dates include: 6/25, 7/16, 8/6, 8/27, 9/17, 10/8, 10/29, & 11/19
Boston Open Market
Every Saturday in Copley Square, this bustling market features 85 local artists, designers, makers, and vintage dealers. Vendors, be prepared for lots of foot traffic!
These are the events I would have attended as a vendor if I wasn’t moving to Cali. Now I will be discovering the Bay Area art scene and making a new list of events for quirky burp to attend. Ahhh. Hope to see you all at PVDFest for one final east coast market! <3
