Pop-Up Market at Downtown Event Center

Fremont will host a pop-up art market at the Downtown Event Center and Plaza on Sunday, April 26, with local artists selling work from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. (fremont.gov) The market is part of Fremont Creates, the city’s April arts program, and the venue is listed at 3500 Capitol Ave. in downtown Fremont. (fremont.gov) Tri-City Voice reported the event will feature more than 20 local artists selling directly to the public. The same listing said live jazz and an outdoor performance by Wadaiko Newark taiko drummers are scheduled during the market. (tricityvoice.com) The April 26 market is billed as the closing event for Fremont’s Arts, Culture and Creativity Month, a city-backed monthlong series of arts programming. Fremont Creates’ calendar calls the market a new addition to that April lineup. (tricityvoice.com, fremontcreates.com) The event is set up as more than a shopping stop. Fremont Creates said the Makerspace for kids of all ages will return, and two adult hands-on workshops are also planned for people age 15 and older. (tricityvoice.com, fremontcreates.com) The Downtown Event Center is one of Fremont’s newer civic venues, and the city describes it as a facility near dining, shopping and Bay Area Rapid Transit. That location gives the market a built-in downtown audience beyond regular arts patrons. (fremont.gov) City and community listings describe the April 26 program as free to attend. A city newsletter said the market will include artists’ work for sale, workshops and the Makerspace in the same four-hour window. (content.govdelivery.com, fremont.gov) For visitors, the pitch is straightforward: browse local art, catch live performances and spend a Sunday afternoon at Fremont’s downtown plaza before the city’s April arts month wraps up.
