COLLABORATION
We love nothing MORE than a strong and loyal community and we feel so lucky to have one! All credit to our customers for the amazing turn out & hype that come to find goodies from our incredible line up of makers show after show! Our customers make a day out of their shopping trip (usually 2-3 days) and bring their friends, their dogs, their uncles, their sisters, and we know we can provide this amazing value to you.

I can't say enough good things. - Jessica B. from Radically You”

It’s guest list is 70 but we are going to do tons of footage after because it’s going to be BEAUTIFUL. If you sponsor that, it will go towards making that special plus get your name out there.

BRILLIANT PAST SPONSORSHIPS:
ARE YOU A TALENTED MUSICIAN?
Our Saturday portion of each Market is stacked up with some fun live music by talented musicians, ranging from acoustic high school groups to bluegrass bands that have been together for decades. Musicians play a 45 min or up to 2 hr slot and are paid via Mermade Market credit to shop the eclectic inside portion of the market!
“Coming from San Diego, It was well worth the drive to Dana Point to be a part of this amazing event. It was awesome overall and we would definitely want to be part of it again! Thanks again to Elise and the team for inviting us, and for making Mermade Market happen. It’s more than just a market - it’s an experience.”
