Orlando's Thornton Park district is getting a burst of local flavor with the new Urban Marketplace, taking root at The Veranda every month starting today. According to GottaGoOrlando, the pop-up market will showcase over 20 local artisans, crafters, and food vendors from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., including a delectable range of handmade treats, vintage finds, and live music.
The event isn't just a casual stroll through tents and tables. It's a full-fledged community event with activities like yoga sessions provided by Ignite Your Flow, which occur twice daily at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Your Community Paper notes that those interested in participating in the yoga classes should register ahead through the provided link in their bio, indicating that space is limited and the thirst for wellness is high.
The Orlando Local Makers group's initiative is helping small businesses by connecting local entrepreneurs with the community and offering various products, from homemade candles and children's items to original artwork.
