What is a Summer Pop up Market? A unique outdoor shopping experience for not just the beach goer, but the seller as well

Having the opportunity to meet and work with small businesses, porch farmers, crafters, designers, bakers and driven individuals to Pop Up is something that is valued here at Solé and in Buffalo as a whole. Each year we have grown, working with more like minded businesses who want to bring their shop down to the beach and support a fellow local business like themselves.

Not only does this support You, the seller, you get to meet new life long customers. You will have the opportunity to come and display your products any day of your choice, all throughout the summer season.

Here at Solé, we have always sought out ways to support and give back our community. This is one of the ways we have come up with to continue to support and keep our small business community alive and thriving. In doing that, we offer flexibility and a new experience at this unique venue.
