Night Market 2024: Calling All Kid Entrepreneurs!

3/28/2024

Calling all kid entrepreneurs! Have a knack for creating beautiful art, crafting your own jewelry, or even making your own slime? We're inviting you to showcase your talent to the community at upcoming NMPL's Night Market event!

NMPL's Night Market event is one of our most popular programs of the year. This block party meets glow-in-the-dark fun meets shopping local businesses is the ultimate fall family fun extravaganza. This year, we're planning on making it bigger and better than ever. Local businesses, vendors, and artisans set up stands to sell their goods at the event, and we want to open this up to our kid entrepreneurs!
