The Summer Market is a unique, outdoor festival held right along the water.  Thousands of guests visit the Market each year to shop for furniture, architectural salvage, vintage finds, art & jewelry, coastal decor, fresh produce and a variety of other goods from more than 100 vendors.

Guests can grab a bite from several featured restaurants and food trucks, enjoy a cocktail by the water, enjoy some yacht rock, watch the sun set or shop in the summer sun.

The Summer Market is a fundraising event for our non-profit, Girls Give Back.  Proceeds benefit local families and organizations in need.

It is a wonderful, feel good event that should not be missed!

Applications for the 2021 Summer Market will post in January.

Supporting the artists, makers, movers and shakers in small business has been part of our mission since 2006.

In May of 2020, we launched an online Marketplace in response to Covid-19.  With shows being cancelled across the country, we opened a platform for small businesses to reach a broader audience.  

A small percentage of each sale goes to our non-profit, Girls Give Back with the remainder going directly to the maker.  So, when you shop the Marketplace you are not only supporting these amazing small business owners, but you are helping to support local organizations and families in need.  THANK YOU!

Thank you so much for your AMAZING support with our online Marketplace in 2020. We have closed the shop for the remainder of 2020 to allow our makers time to rest. If there is something you're desperate to have, please send us an email at thesummermarket@gmail.com and we will see if we can help.

The Lorain Port Authority is a proud partner of The Summer Market.
