<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cThe theme is 1960s, 1970s so we\u2019re trying to create the whole vibe,\u201d Dinis said.<\/p>\n
What won\u2019t be present are food trucks or a bar, which are normally part of San Diego Made events. There will, Dinnis said, be pre-packaged food for sale.<\/p>\n
The main feature, of coarse, will be the art and crafts vendors \u2014 96 of them.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had an overwhelming amount of vendors applying. We had to open it up and redo our layout to try and fit in 15 more vendors,\u201d Dinnis said, adding that the pandemic has been hard on many of the usual vendors at San Diego Made events.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve seen some small businesses that we\u2019ve worked with in the past close down, not a huge amount but still several that it is hard to see that they weren\u2019t able to make it because they rely so heavily on doing public markets and events like this. It\u2019s basically how they make their money throughout the year,\u201d she said. \u201c[The Grossmont market is] a good opportunity for the public to come and experience these events and as well for the small businesses to be able to make the income they normally would at these kinds of events throughout the year.\u201d<\/p>\n
San Diego Made Summer Market will be held May 1 and 2, 11 a.m.\u20135 p.m. at Grossmont Center, 5500 Grossmont Center Drive, La Mesa. The event is free, as is the raffle and door gifts while supplies last. For more information, visit www.sandiegomade.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n
