PORTLAND, ME (May 1, 2023) — Portland Downtown in conjunction with Monument Square property and business owners is proud to announce the return of the Monument(al) Market in the Square, a Friday spring and summer market returning to Monument Square now on Fridays. The first Monument(al) Market will be Friday, June 2.

In a continued effort to program Monument Square and bring vibrancy to one of our city’s most compelling plazas, Portland Downtown is teaming up with Monument Square business and property owners to recruit makers, artists, and other vendors to offer their wares Fridays throughout the spring and summer. 

“This Monument(al) Market in the Square will continue to bring vibrancy to one of our premier locations in the city. It will help local entrepreneurs while at the same time being an active space that will entice tourists and others. We hope folks will also buy lunch or a snack at nearby restaurants and eat outside. We’re excited to continue to bring activity to our downtown,” said Cary Tyson, executive director of Portland Downtown. Interested vendors can complete an application available at portlandmaine.com/MonumentalMarket
