STORY
Minneapolis Vintage Market is a new project from the team behind Minneapolis Craft Market. A group of vendors got together after the market hosted a number of successful vintage events to advocate that the craft market team should establish a regular outlet for vintage traders and customers to connect. Recognizing that there is a gap in the Twin Cities for this kind of pop-up event to be hosted on a regular schedule, the market team jumped at the chance to cater to vintage enthusiasts and collectors by offering a monthly marketplace of curated, one-of-a-kind goods.
