  They’ll be exhibiting their products and services in fun ways including games and giveaways. Show your support by shopping local – #shopnwa.

Why it’s important: Our community is vibrant, diverse, and cohesive.

• We created the Showcase to bring us together in celebration and support of cultural traditions encouraging a sense of belonging.

Small business people and entrepreneurs are key drivers of our economic success. They need opportunities to connect with the community in a platform that helps them:

• Business-to-Community: Make new connections within the community and reach potential customers in a fun environment.
• Business-to-Business: Market their business and build professional relationships with other exhibitors (businesses/organizations).

How to Participate:  Show your support for the community through sponsorship or by exhibiting in the Marketplace with a fun, interactive experience. Get signed up for the Kids & Pets Parade, a family-friendly and safe way to enjoy Saturday in Railyard Park.
