Experience the St. Cloud Monthly Market at night
Born out of the minds of local business owners to create a safe and energetic nighttime event, the Downtown St. Cloud Monthly Market, just on the other side of Kissimmee, is a sight to see. The entire downtown is roped off for blocks, making room for hundreds of vendors where you can shop local Florida goods. The string lights hanging above the block of New York Avenue help show off the small-town ambiance.
When to Visit the Market
The Downtown St. Cloud Monthly Market takes place on the last Wednesday of every month, featuring a variety of makers young and old. Each month, the market is themed around a particular holiday. For example, June's and July’s markets highlight the young entrepreneurs of downtown St. Cloud while the kids are out of school.
And during the market, the brick-and-mortar shops will stay open late, providing more options to check out handmade crafts and delicious food.

How the Market Began
Locals love the sense of community that the market fosters. The idea started with an event deemed a “Sip-N-Stroll” where attendees could go shop to shop while sipping on different drinks. Then, at the end, someone said “So when's the next one?” After that, the Downtown Business Group grew the market into the largest monthly event the town has ever seen in just a few short months. This event brings together people of all ages and backgrounds, providing a fun and welcoming atmosphere where families and friends can connect.
Market Vendors
The vendors at the Downtown St. Cloud Monthly Market sell a variety of handmade goods. Many of the vendors are local artisans who offer one-of-a-kind creations that you won't find anywhere else. From handcrafted jewelry to custom clothing to native Florida plants, there's a bit of something for everyone in at the market. One of the local shops even started as a vendor and now has a storefront right on New York Avenue!
