BLOOM IS BACK BABY! 🌸 ✨

We are back from our post holiday hibernation to announce our 2024 market schedule!

We will be popping up at The Barn in Meriam Park every single month minus a little summer break. The summer months are brutal in Chico and they are always our slowest markets so we decided this was the best way to avoid cancellations or slow traffic events.

We want to keep things consistent so our events will always be the 2nd Sunday of the month, except March will be the 3rd Sunday – The Barn has another exciting event going on that day.

Vendor applications will be opening very soon! We are working hard on something very special & exciting to make our vendor experience even better for you guys so please be patient, we promise it’ll be worth it!

As we move into a brand new year, we are always looking for ways to improve our events for everyone involved. If you have any feedback from your experience with us last year, please send us an email or a DM and let us know so we can keep growing and evolving! We constantly hear that our markets are your favorite to attend or vend at and we have big plans for the future of Bloom so we want to keep it that way!

If you want to stay in the loop be sure to go to our website and sign up for our emails!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! We will be back soon with our exciting announcement ✨

THANK YOU 🌸✨ for another incredible year of events! From the bottom of our hearts, we thank each and every one of you who showed up for Bloom this year!

We hosted 9 events this year and broke records with attendance and vendor sales! Chico really knows how to show up for it’s community and we couldn’t be happier 🥰

We’ll be taking a couple weeks off to recoup and celebrate our successful year as well as start planning for next year! Our 2024 calendar will be coming soon!

Again, thank you all so very much.
Happy Holidays & New Year from the Bloom Team,
Desiree & Corey 💖
