Market Day traditionally draws more than 3,000 visitors to the Arboretum on Mother’s
Day weekend all eager to shop for plants and crafts from our wide variety of vendors. Vendors from across the region will join in the fun selling a wide variety of plants. Other gifts including pottery, jewelry, art and more will also be featured. Food and beverages will be on sale from participating food trucks on both days. Wagon rentals will be available for shopping ease. Last but not least, lots of children’s activities
will be on-site to entice families.
In the evening on Friday, May 10 we have our Party on the Porch (5pm-8pm). This is a paid “preview” event and fundraiser for adults. Complimentary wine and beer as well as music make for a festive and spirited event. This is a fundraising event to support Cylburn Arboretum Friends. (The Arboretum will be CLOSED to the public May 10th for set up)
Saturday, May 11 is our free, family friendly, public festival (8am-2pm). We have plant vendors, gift vendors, nonprofit/family activity vendors and food vendors confirmed. Market Day opens its doors at 8 a.m. and customers are usually on site early! It is an opportunity for those interested in expanding their knowledge of plants, flowers, trees, herbs, and other flora that grow in Maryland’s soils to make purchases and talk to horticultural experts. But it is also fun – nursery booths brimming with flowers, artisan booths selling handmade goods, and a kids corner full of activities for the little ones. Add food, a stilt walker, and face painting to the equation and there is something for everyone.
Event is rain or shine!
