**Our BIG Summer Market is coming back to Polaris and it’s going to be so good. 
**
**Last year, we held our very first market at Polaris Fashion Place with our Holiday Market in the former Forever 21 space and you all showed up in such a big way.
So we’re bringing it back for summer.
On Sunday, July 19, Not Your Mama’s Craft Market is taking over that same giant storefront for our annual **BIG Summer Market** with **90+ makers, boutiques, vintage booths, and artists** from Columbus and across the Midwest.
This is not just “a market at the mall.” This is **our summer market experience** brought into one huge, nostalgic, air-conditioned shopping space and filled wall to wall with the kind of local businesses people wait all season for.
Think wide open space to wander.
Handmade goods you actually want to take home.
Vintage finds you’ll think about for weeks if you leave behind.
Boutiques, gifts, art, candles, jewelry, apparel, décor, and little summer treasures you did not plan on falling in love with.

If you loved what we did here during the holidays, just wait until you see this space in full summer mode.
To keep shopping smooth and enjoyable during the busiest part of the day, entry from **11AM–3PM will be ticketed.** Then from **3PM–5PM**, the market will be **free and open to the public.**
So yes, you can absolutely come later for free.
But if you want the earlier shopping window, the best selection, and the easiest wandering experience, you’ll want to grab a ticket once they drop.
