The Yorktown Small Business Association, in partnership with the Friends of Yorktown Parks and Recreation, is announcing the first townwide marketplace, Nostro Mercato Di Yorktown. The purpose of the market is to support our community service organizations, not for profits and small businesses. It will be held on April 26, 2025, between the hours of 8:00 am and 3:00 pm at the Al Cappellini Community and Cultural Center gymnasium. There will be a $2.00 entry fee for the public (children under 12 free).Doors will open to the public at 9:00 am. There will be raffle prizes, silent auctions and music by local musicians.
The concept is to bring together a variety of small businesses, residents, artists, crafts people andvintage/collectible sellers for the show. This would enable them to sell their creations and products. There will be 50 tables available for the event to rent. Two table spaces are available, 8ft by 8ft (1 six ft table, $40.00) and 8ft by 12ft. (2 6ft tables, $60.00). Each space will come with 2 chairs. We encourage artists, crafts people, vintage/collectible sellers, local small businesses and area residents to participate. Residents are encouraged to participate by bringing their attic treasures and bric-a-brac to sell. Large bulky items are not encouraged due to space constraints. Each seller will be expected to make a nominal contribution to a participating community service organization (list provided by us).
Bob Giordano, President of YSBA said “We intend to bring the community together as a show of support for all our community service organizations, not for profits and small businesses”.
This will be a great opportunity for residents to sell or buy Art, Crafts, Vintage items, bric-a-brac and Collectibles. Businesses are encouraged to participate as well to promote awareness of their products and services. Our artists can display and sell their creations, businesses can promote/sell their products/services, residents can sell their attic treasures/bric–a–brac and community service organizations can raise funds for their causes.
Space is limited and will be allocated on a first come first serve basis. Your completed application (an email will suffice) and payment returned promptly will ensure your space at the event. In addition, gold, silver and bronze sponsorships to support the event are available.
