"We'll be operating right through Musikfest, which is very appealing to vendors,” organizer Kyle Edwards said. “They'll be operating in a very prominent downtown Bethlehem space, just steps from all of the outdoor action, during those very busy weeks."

New additions include Allentown-based McCall Collective Brewing Company, which will be filling up Musikfest mugs with its beers, along with Seona Designed (refurbished and repurposed household goods and apparel), Eva Pacho Joyeria (handmade jewelry), Uno Taqueria (burritos, quesadillas and more), Hippie Momma Apothecary (bar soaps, healing salves, bath salts, bug spray and more), The Crow Woodworks (hand-crafted, hanging mug trees, charcuterie/cutting boards and other wood creations), Kicks by Austin (new and lightly used sneakers) and Gabriella’s Salon (haircare products).

Edwards, a well-known Lehigh Valley artist, is the founder and CEO of a true l.o.v.e story., llc, a business offering art, fashion, and entertainment services.

His company offers custom murals, inspired apparel, public and private event hosting, and more.

He got the idea for The Market after hosting a similar event, the Holiday Pop-Up Market, in November and December at The Promenade Shops at Saucon Valley in Upper Saucon Township.

"We saw much success at The Promenade Shops and wanted to bring that same energy that vendors and shoppers enjoyed during the holidays into the summer months," Edwards said. "The community definitely wants to support local small businesses, and my focus is just giving those businesses more opportunity and a platform to present their items."

Some artisans and vendors rotate, but there are at least 15 businesses set up at any given time, Edwards said.

Vendors participate in various capacities, "with some taking up 10 or 12 feet, and others just needing a small table," Edwards said.

"I'm really excited to work with new and familiar small businesses in the Lehigh Valley," Edwards said. "We're also planning to be back at The Promenade Shops in the fall, probably starting the weekend of the Christmas tree lighting. Then I'm hoping to host a market in Easton at some point, maybe at some point next year."

The air-conditioned market features live music, children’s activities, games, and a kids’ playroom.

The market also is partnering with Cay Galgon Life House in Bethlehem and is collecting items like diapers, toiletries and infant needs for displaced mothers and children.
