Pride Market happens in just two weeks! Come see what we've been up to in our studios, kitchens, farms, offices, and wherever else we create and grow!

We are located in the Orpheum Theater (and the outdoor patio) this year again, so you can even get a drink or lunch from 5th & Elm on the way in or out!

A majority q***r vendor alley featuring things vendors wrote, baked, grew, forged, knit, wove, drew, or otherwise made? That's right! You'll find all sorts of things from the whimsical to the practical (or both).

Come check out our next market!

We cannot wait to see you at Pride Market! We're looking forward to smiling faces and q***r joy, connecting with our community, as well as sharing what we've been up to in our studios, offices, kitchens, forges, and farms! You may want to stop by 5th & Elm on the way out of the market for a tasty drink or lunch too!

We have a majority q***r vendor alley. Everything at Pride Market was grown, sewn, written, drawn, woven, forged, designed, crocheted, or otherwise created by our vendors. We do not allow anything made with generative AI. You'll be supporting local and regional artists, farmers, and makers in our community when you shop small at Pride Market. Whether you are looking for whimsy, practical, or both, we've got you!

Just thinking about how fabulous our Flower Moon Spring Market was! Everyone made this event so magical! Vendors, musicians, guests, volunteers -- everyone. What a joyful day!
🌱
Whimsiq***rs' next market is Pride Market, but it is not an immersive event like this one was. Still, it is a great way to shop & support local, connect, and see what our local & regional q***r artists, farmers, makers and allies have got for you!

The maypole dance was so much fun!!

Huge thank you to Ginger Alberti for leading the maypole dance! And huge thank you to our musicians and bards-in-residence Tom Paerish and mj durocher, and also to wandering bard Oren Tikkanen, who magically showed up just in time to join Tom and mj for the maypole music to guide our dancers! The whimsy of it all was just so perfect.

The Flower Moon Spring Market was organized by Whimsiq***rs.

If you'd like to see the maypole again, it is reported to be at BigGoat Farm for Saturday's Pridefest Fundraiser! (Pridefest is organized by Keweenaw Qu**rs.)
