Hey everyone! I work with Northeast Alternatives in Hamilton.

We’re putting together a community event on Saturday, October 24th from 11 AM - 5 PM, and I’m looking for local businesses that would like to come out, set up a table, show off what they do, and meet some new people!
We’d love to have a good mix of local businesses, artists, makers, food vendors, tattoo artists, barbers, salons, clothing brands, and really anyone who has something cool to bring to the community.

There is no vendor fee. We’re just trying to put together a fun day that gives local businesses a chance to meet each other, get their name out there, and connect with the community.

If you own a local business or know someone who might be a good fit, send me a message! I’d love to talk and get you involved.

📅 Saturday, October 24th
⏰ 11 AM - 5 PM
📍 Hamilton, NJ

21+ ONLY. All vendors and attendees must be 21 or older.
