Starting May 3, the Atlantic City Race Course will be the location of a brand new outdoor market featuring crafts, live music, food trucks and a flea market. The Mercato Market located in Mays Landing, New Jersey will operate on weekends from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., May through December. The market will consist of several areas called districts that include shopping, food, and a beer garden. Each weekend there will be live entertainment and themed events.
The market has space for as many as 1,000 vendors and expects to attract between 2,500 and 5,000 people a day, according to its business plan. Vendor spaces start at $30 a day. Spaces are still available. Incentives are available for vendors who refer a friend to also become a vendor. For example, refer 3-5 vendors and receive 20 percent off your next month’s rental.
