The Market Marie takes place the second Saturday of every month at Coachman Park.

The Market Marie is one of the best local shopping experiences in Tampa Bay. Held at Coachman Park (300 Cleveland St., Clearwater), the market transforms the waterfront green space into a bustling destination every second Saturday of the month. On August 9, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., more than 130 local vendors will gather for a special summer edition of the event.

Let’s make this the summer we shop small and support local businesses. This month’s market will feature pet adoptions, fresh produce, food trucks, games, and more—making it a fabulous, family-friendly outing that’s well worth the trip to Clearwater.

Produced by The Market Culture LLC, Market Marie invites local vendors to apply online for future dates. This open-air event features everything from produce and handmade goods to tasty snacks, drinks, and even a bounce house for kids.

You’ll find fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies, buttery croissants, juicy fruit, smoothies, savory lunch bites, and take-and-bake meals from local food creators. Shoppers can also build their own bouquets, browse handmade décor, and pick up one-of-a-kind accessories crafted by Tampa Bay artisans. It’s a year-round opportunity to discover new gifts and stock up for the holidays.

Coachman Park, part of the 19-acre Imagine Clearwater initiative, offers a stunning setting for this community-focused event. With its waterfront views and wide walkways, it’s the perfect place to stretch your legs while exploring all the market has to offer. Market Marie is a must on our Tampa Bay calendar.

Organizers also host The Market Elaine, a huge vendor market held on the first Friday of each month at The Grove at Wesley Chapel (6013 Wesley Grove Blvd.). Spoiler alert: it’s worth the drive too.
