Marché Pride Market Returns to Wilton for a Day of Celebration, Community, and Creativity
WILTON, CT — Marché is proud to announce the return of its vibrant Pride Market, taking place on Sunday, May 31st from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM in Wilton Center.
In collaboration with Wilton Pride and as part of the town-wide Wilton Pride Festival, the Marché Pride Market will transform the street in front of the Wilton Town Green into a lively, open-air marketplace celebrating local talent, inclusivity, and community spirit.
Perfectly positioned between the Wilton Historical Society Food Truck Festival at Schenck’s Island and the festivities on the Town Green, the Pride Market will serve as a vibrant hub connecting the day’s celebrations. Visitors are invited to stroll the street, shop, eat, and soak in the joyful atmosphere that makes Wilton such a special place to gather.
Founded in 2024 by Wilton residents and LGBTQ+ allies Katie Nelson and Kerry Ray, Marché was created to uplift local artists, makers, and small businesses. That mission shines brightly during the Pride Market, where more than 30 talented vendors will showcase handmade, homegrown, and thoughtfully curated goods.
This year’s market welcomes exciting new vendors including Bessie Nails, JC Knits, Lulus Cakes and Bakes, Painted Path Studio, Ooh La Lola, Prince Fae Art, Michaela Wales Art, and The Tinsel Fairy, alongside returning favorites such as Pottery by Safiya, Modern Kem Soap Co., and Abeef Crochet.
“Pride Market is one of our most meaningful events of the year,” say Nelson and Ray. “It’s a celebration of creativity, identity, and community. We are proud to partner with Wilton Pride and to be part of a town that continues to foster a welcoming, safe, and supportive environment for the LGBTQ+ community.”
Join us on May 31st (Rain Date- June 7th)for a day filled with art, joy, and connection—right in the heart of Wilton.
