our story

Kentucky Pop-Ups is a dynamic creative market that “pops up” at locations across Kentucky. Our mission is to support local artisans and small businesses by providing affordable booth spaces, helping them reach new clients and grow their brands. At our markets, you'll find an array of talented makers, from potters and painters to knitters, sewers, crafters, and much more. It’s truly a celebration of Kentucky’s vibrant creative community.

​

Kentucky Pop-Ups was born out of Elizabeth's experience as a vendor. After attending a market where she only sold enough to cover her booth costs, she realized there was a lack of affordable opportunities for small businesses like hers. She began searching for markets that were budget-friendly, but found it difficult to find consistent options. So, she decided to create her own!

​

Our first market, held in May 2022, featured just 20 vendors in a school parking lot. Since then, we've grown into two monthly markets with 50-70 vendors each.

At Kentucky Pop-Ups, community is at the heart of everything we do. Many of our vendors have been with us since the beginning, helping to shape and grow the business. Together, we've created a creative space that’s generating excitement and buzz across the community.
