In 2026, we’re growing the YAQPUM team to better support the long-term sustainability and overall success of our upcoming markets! We strive to co-create a supportive, inclusive, fun, and financially successful event for our makers and an easeful, accessible, engaging space for our community members.
There are many different small and large opportunities to be part of supporting and centering BIPOC and 2SLGBTQIA+ makers through our markets and we look forward to hearing from you!
For the 2026 season we are planning the following markets:
- MAY 23: 4th Annual Spring Yet Another Queer Market | Location TBD
- JUNE 12, JULY 10, AUGUST 14: Summer on Strong Market(s) for Arts Night Out | Details TBD
- SEPTEMBER 19: 3rd Annual QueerCore Fest Market Collaboration | Easthampton
We see the expansion of the team as an opportunity to grow in our own understanding of what others can contribute to make a market run well, and an opportunity to share our knowledge to help others grow in their own skillsets, connections, and production of events.
** Please know that this is a learning curve for us as well as we work to grow this team! We ask for (and provide) kindness, care, flexibility, and honest, loving communication. We will be in touch in February! Thank you for your interest!
