Broad Street Market’s temporary structure
Broad Street Market-goers are invited to share what the market means to them, in a creative way.
A panel of market vendors and friends are asking the community to help name the market’s temporary structure, which opened to shoppers last week.
The tent opened across from the market to give a few displaced vendors, as well as several new vendors, a place to set up shop nearly a year after a July 2023 fire heavily damaged the brick market building. City and market officials have stated that the tent will remain open for around two years, as the brick building is rebuilt.
Community members are invited to reflect on what the market means to them and submit a creative, original and meaningful name for the temporary structure via an online form. In addition to providing a name suggestion, the form includes space for participants to explain the reasoning behind their choice.
Name submissions will be accepted now through June 22.
The market’s panel of judges will then present up to five name suggestions for community voting, chosen based on “creativity, relevance and market spirit,” according to the market’s website. Voting will then run from June 27 to July 6.
The panel will announce the winning tent name at a public market board meeting on July 10, which will mark the one-year anniversary of the fire.
To suggest a name for the temporary structure, fill out the submission form on the Broad Street Market’s website.
