The Independent Marketplace "Valentine Grand Finale!"
Show the love on February 7th from 4-9 PM. February's Independent Marketplace will be the very last one as we know it! Build-out begins for the permanent Marketplace. (stay-tuned)
For your pleasure, we have brought together the risqué, the frisqué, and the vanilla. As you can imagine, we're going out with a bang!
$5 tickets at the door or online through http://independentmarketplace.brownpapertickets.com. Your ticket, a green penny, may be redeemed for special "green penny" deals and discounts with participating vendors.
Students & Military $3 with ID. Kids under 16 free. $-5pm is free 'early bird' entry for shopping.
Featuring only independent collectors and makers, The Independent Marketplace puts a uniquely local flavor on the holiday of love. February's Independent Marketplace is bringing together proven Marketplace All-stars including Companion Bakeshop, Farmhouse Culture, Verve Coffee, Ashby Confections, Penny Ice Creamery, Happy Girl Kitchen and Carmel Valley Ranch.
Feast your eyes on our benefit partners, Big Sur Fire Brigade and Mid Coast Fire Brigade. They will be on hand to make sure the flames don't get out of control. Did we mention flames? Why, yes we did. Celsius Maximus and his team will be out on the plaza lighting up the night sky with live fire performances. Feeling a bit flushed? That may be caused by One Billion Rising staging their practice dance session in prep for the February 14 international flash mob against domestic violence. That's right, we have a flash mob.
The Kid's Corner will be glowing with excitement. Join a family fun multi-mat Twister Contest with tongue-tantalizing prizes courtesy of Penny Ice Creamery for the winners. Entertainment is being curated by Monterey's Burning Man group- including a huge furry heart, and The Space Pallette will amaze those who use this 'instrument' to create simultaneous music and visuals. Animal Friends Rescue Group hope's you take home a puppy! All to live Harp Music- the kiddos are assured a treat!
Grown up's too- Thai Massage will be offered in the Burning Man 'Camp' by Evolution Yoga and the Ladies of Planet Love Funk offer their botanically infused 'Love Oil'. Capture the magic moment in their Polaroid Photo Booth of Love! Brazilian Waxing + Oya Salon will be grooming you to look your best- learn more about body waxing and get a bang-bang trim! Ouchy-wa-wa!
The Marketplace's usual "Farm-to-Table" produce and "Truck-to-Belly" prepared foods won't be beat. Uncie Ro's Pizza will be cooking pies to make you drool, Mundaka will be serving up something a bit spicier, and Happy Girl Kitchen is always a crowd pleaser. Carmel Valley Ranch always draws an ace, and newly opened La Balena from Carmel is our debutante!
Join us, it's you're last chance, because the very next day construction will begin at The Independent to build out the permanent Marketplace. We expect that it will become the artisan food epicenter & social hub of the area! Take an apartment tour and 'get a room' upstairs?
The build out is surging forward thanks to the outpouring of support from the Central Coast food & arts community! We mean you!!!
Shop local, support local, enjoy local, sustain local. Always!
