Community Market
The city of Trotwood’s Community Market will be held at the Center Point Plaza, 440 E. Main St. beginning each Saturday through Sept. 28. On the fourth Saturday, vendors will be able to participate in the city’s annual Family Reunion at Madison Park, 301 S. Broadway St.
The fee for the market season is $50 for a 10’ x 10’ space for a non-food vendor and $35 for a 10’ x 10’ space for a food vendor. Trotwood businesses and organizations will receive a 20% discount.
A new option this year will be the opportunity to have a pop-up segment. One business or organization can participate each Saturday for a flat rate of $20 for a 10’ x 10’ space for a non-food vendor; $10 for a 10’ x 10’ space for a food vendor. The pop-up segment is available on a first come, first served basis.
