Frequently Asked Questions
What is Market in the Park-et (MitP)?
It’s just what it sounds like… a wonderful day of spontaneous shopping in the park. We feature over 50 local small businesses offering curated vintage clothing, handmade custom garments, home decor, original artwork, food and drink, and much more. Every market offers something different and unique. We also have food trucks, lawn games, a playlist curated by the organizer, and great park views, making MitP a shopping experience like no other in Denver, Colorado.
What’s with the silly name?
MitP is organized by Rhyme Tyme Finds, who as you might have guessed, has a predilection for rhyming. Adding an “-et” gives our market in the park a more carefree feel, which is the vibe we bring to the market itself. Market in the Park-et is a silly name, but it’s serious fun.
Where and when are the markets?
Our markets are once a month from April to October. For the exact dates, check out this page. Historically, all of our markets have occurred at the beautiful Boathouse in Washington Park. Our vendors setup inside and outside the Boathouse, and on the lawn right next to it. It’s a big party and you can’t miss us!
But this year, we will have our September market at City Park! It’s going to be an even bigger market, celebrating our 2 year anniversary. You’ll find all of us at the City Park Pavilion on Ferril Lake. All other markets this year will still be at our spiritual home, Wash Park.
How much does it cost?
Our markets are completely FREE.
What about parking?
There is FREE street parking all over the surrounding neighborhoods at both Washington and City Park. There are also free parking lots right next to Smith and Ferril Lakes, but spots can fill up pretty fast. Luckily, even on a busy day at the park, there is usually a decent spot to be found and a brief and scenic walk will get you right to the market.
Can I bring my cute dog?
Not only can you, but we hope you do! Market in the Park-et is the most dog-friendly market in the city. We have even had vendors specifically selling pet-friendly toys and gifts. Check out our Instagram for some of our favorite dog friends that we’ve met at our markets!
Is the market accessible?
Yes! Our wonderful Denver Parks and Recreation teams have gone to great lengths to make sure our city’s parks are ADA-compliant and accessible to as many people as possible. Everyone is welcome at Market in the Park-et. If you have any further questions about this, please contact us.
