CANCELED: The Market Shops Bloody Mary Festival

This event has been canceled due to COVID19 precautionary measures.

With much thought, evaluation and continued analysis of the health guidelines in place throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, and after consulting with our vendors and sponsors, we have made the very difficult decision to postpone The Market Shops 6th Annual Bloody Mary Festival to 2021. 

Although we are a little sad we won't be able to celebrate with you all this October, we cannot wait until next year for a bigger, better, AND safer Bloody Mary Festival!
