LGBTQIA+ community and allies!!

The Arlington Rainbow Commission will be hosting Town Pride festivities on 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝟑𝟏𝐬𝐭. And we are thrilled to officially announce that a key event that day will be Arlington’s first ever Q***r Market! The Q***r Market will run from 𝟏𝟐:𝟎𝟎𝐩𝐦 - 𝟒:𝟎𝟎𝐩𝐦 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐥. We are so excited to center q***r-owned vendors - creators, artists, makers, and small businesses - and bring folks together in celebration of this beautiful, diverse, and expansive LGBTQIA+ community.

We are hoping to have about 30-35 vendors - those selling goods - in addition to potentially around 10 spots for tabling - organizations sharing information and resources and not selling goods. We welcome folks from all around the greater Boston area to participate - you do not have to be an Arlington resident! Please continue reading below for information about the two applications.

LBGTQIA+ community and allies!

The Arlington Rainbow Commission previously sent out an interest form about the potential of hosting a q***r market in Arlington. As a reminder, the q***r market will aim to uplift and support LGBTQIA+ vendors, artists, makers, and small businesses in Arlington and the surrounding area. We are hopeful this will become a reality and have a few logistical questions to ask as we want to align with and support the community as much as possible. Your response to this form does not lock you into any commitment.

Please fill out this form if you are interested in participating as a vendor! And please share amongst your fellow artists, makers, and small businesses. Let’s showcase the beautiful, talented, and vibrant LGBTQIA+ community in Arlington and beyond!
