Founded by a vendor, for vendors.

Our mission:

The Downtown ILM Market was developed as a means to feature local producers and artisans selling their goods directly to consumers, during thoughtfully curated events to bring the community together.

We also heavily believe in the importance of giving back - which is why 10% of each month’s revenue is donated to a charitable organization.

Our location:

Our events currently take place all over Wilmington, NC and vary depending upon the event.

Our founder:

Meet Bethany Carpenter, the founder of the Downtown ILM Market! For years, she participated as a vendor in several local farmers markets and began to realize the ways in which they could be perfected to better serve the vendors themselves - and ultimately improve customer experience.
