SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

Welcome to
The Good Trade.

The Good Trade Makers Market is a true celebration of tradespeople. We bring together some of the country’s greatest independent makers and manufacturers under one roof for a weekend of small-business shopping at the gorgeous WaterFire Arts Center in Providence, RI in November and Hula in Burlington, VT in December every year.

Each event features 90 small businesses from New England and beyond, a bar, food and treats, a vendor-created playlist, and more.

The first Providence event was held in 2021, and in 2022, we made our way north to Burlington, a city we love in a state we spend a lot of time in. Each event welcomes over 4,000 enthusiastic attendees who are ready to shop small and support independent businesses.

Our goal is to curate a selection of vendors where 50% are local to the area where the market is held and the other 50% travel in for the event, stay in local hotels, network with area businesses, and create relationships in a city that is new to them. We believe in the power of building community, and that we will all be more successful if we help each other grow.
