Grand Opening Of Uptown Market On May 23
Saturday, May 23rd will mark the Grand Opening of the Uptown Market, which will be held in the parking lot of Jamaican Grill on Court Street. The Market is the brainchild of Economic Development Officer, Roxanne Christopher and Business owner Marcia Stowe.
The Market is opening the wake of the new impending Vendor Legislation which if approved will require all vendors/peddlers to sell their goods in a registered market.
The Uptown Market will provide an opportunity for Business Owners/Vendors with Peddlers licenses to sell their products and interact with residents and the community at large in a positive family setting to enjoy food, fun and local entertainment.
Currently there are 10 vendors signed up to participate, but applications are still being accepted.
Roxanne Christopher, BEDC Economic Development Officer for N.E. Hamilton, stated “The Uptown Market is a wonderful opportunity for small business owners to sell their wares in a community environment. Markets showcase the entrepreneurial spirit of Bermudians in its truest form.”
“On the eve of May 24th , the Uptown Market promises to be a new shopping venue that all can enjoy. There will be fun castles, music, entertainment and food.”
The Uptown Market is the fourth market to be designated a registered market. The other markets include, Rubber Tree Market in Warwick, Hidden Treasures Market in Somerset and Olde Towne Market in St. George’s. All Markets are supported by the BEDC.
For more information about the Uptown Market or to register as a Vendor contact Roxanne Christopher at info@bedc.bm or call 292-5570.
I’m very happy that there will be this new market to visit… looking forward to it.

Does this mean no more Tokin’ Joe selling incense sticks at Barnes’ Corner?
No more Sno-Cones outside Horseshoe Bay bus top?
No more Lemonade stands?
