Click on the TAB →  Becoming a Vendor.  \nAbout the JP Sunday Market\nWe started out as the merger of a crew of people wanting to have a Jeff Park market that started a discussion on Everyblock\, plus a couple of us from JPNA with some connections to help get year one off to the quick start it needed\, considering that original discussion was in March—after when many submissions\, etc. are usually already in. \nWith the help of our friends at the Copernicus Foundation who gave us space that first couple of years\, we started a tradition. But that black asphalt in the parking lot made it rough to be out there. So with that experience under our belt\, and some new friends over at the park in the form of the Jefferson Memorial Park Advisory Council\, we renewed our start by moving into the park\, where we got welcome shade and added foot traffic. We been noted by some of our vendors the friendliest market they’ve participated in. That’s something that we love to hear as organizers. \nWe are a 501c3\, and are staffed exclusively by volunteers. \n[ Source:  JPSM Website ] \n\n\n\nCopernicus Center Event Patrons:\n“An inherent risk of exposure to COVID exists in any place where people gather.
