The Broad Street Market tent structure
It’s the community’s turn to make its voice heard in the naming of the Broad Street Market’s temporary structure.
The tent-like structure opened in May as a place to house a few vendors displaced by a fire in the market’s brick building in July 2023, as well as a few new vendors.
The market announced in May that it would take community suggestions of names for the tent. Since then, community members submitted names, which were then voted on and narrowed down by a panel of judges, made up of market officials and friends. Now, voting is back in the community’s hands.
Voters can choose between five names: “Tenty McTentface,” “Tent to Table,” “Little Broad Street Market,” “The Pavilion” and “The Farmer’s Phoenix.”
Voting is open from now through July 6. To cast a vote, people can visit the Broad Street Market tent’s merchandise stand, where they can make a cash donation towards their favorite name, with one dollar equalling one vote.
The panel will announce the winning tent name at a market board meeting on July 10, which will mark the one-year anniversary of the fire.
