It’s a space for growth, collaboration, and impact, and we can’t wait to see the magic that unfolds this year.”
The Marketplace will also provide a platform for small businesses, featuring pop-up shops, merchandise booths, and exhibition spaces where visitors can support local brands and discover new talent.
