About Us
Melody Market is a woman-owned pop-up market and community events company based in Philadelphia, founded in 2024 by Cindy and Nicole.
We believe a market should feel like a celebration. Ours are intentionally small and carefully curated, mixing makers with interactive service vendors like tarot readers, henna artists and tattoo artists, all set to DJs and live performers. That smaller size means guests actually slow down, talk with vendors, and leave with a story behind what they bought.
We're a springboard for new vendors finding their footing and a breath of fresh air for veterans who want a break from the big fairs. Whether we're hosting our own market or bringing one to your venue, our goal is the same: shine a light on the people who make Philly creative.

For Vendors, Small Businesses, and Event Partners
Melody Market is for Philadelphians who love shopping local, discovering artists and musicians, and events that feel like a party rather than a transaction.
Vendors get visibility through our promotion and partner network, and are able to connect with guests in a smaller, curated setting.
Backed by years of event operations experience, our event partners enjoy a curated market at their event without managing vendors themselves. We do turnkey vendor coordination, from recruitment to day-of logistics. If you're a local venue, bar, festival, historic site, or organization, we'd love to connect with you!
How do I become a vendor?
Keep an eye on our Instagram, website, whatsapp for open calls. Each event has its own application and vendor fee, listed in the call. We review every application to keep each market curated and balanced.
