Open-Air Fresh Markets
Each market is located in a different area of Tampa in pedestrian-friendly, outdoor locations that can host open-air fresh markets. Each market features a minimum of 50+ vendors selling only fresh, local, homemade, handcrafted and eco-friendly products. With these offerings the each fresh market intends to draw residents and visitors to the area and to boost the local economy. Each market provides a venue for local groups, businesses, and non-profit organizations to interact with the community and thereby strengthen community spirit via the market place.
